“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently." It felt as if Jobs were back with them, earnest and emotional, describing himself. "They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.”

“For most things in life, the range between best and average is 30% or so.
The best airplane flight, the best meal, they may be 30% better than your average one. What I saw with Woz was somebody who was fifty times better than the average engineer. He could have meetings in his head.
The Mac team was an attempt to build a whole team like that, A players.
People said they wouldn't get along, they'd hate working with each other.
But I realized that A players like to work with A players, they just didn't like working with C players. At Pixar, it was a whole company of A players.”
