Walter Isaacson
“The people who invented the twenty-first century were pot-smoking, sandal-wearing hippies from the West Coast like Steve, because they saw differently,” he said. "The hierarchical systems of the East Coast, England, Germany, and Japan do not encourage this different thinking. The sixties produced an anarchic mind-set that is great for imagining a world not yet in existence.”
Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs

“When I was younger, I thought that race was an overworked theme in the American experience. Now I think differently. One thing that's clear is that multicultural and politically correct programs emanating from the ivory tower haven't made much progress. Sloganeering isn't scholarship. We need a new way.”
Daniel T. Miller, a tragic turn: SIX LEADERS AND THE DEATH OF MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
