Book cover for Steve Jobs
The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. —Apple’s “Think Different” commercial, 1997

This was an enlightening and fascinating book. It did not shortchange a lot of the strange and terrible behaviors that Steve got away with.

Malcolm X
“Since most New Yorkers had never heard of Lansing, I would name Detroit. Gradually, I began to be called “Detroit Red”—and it stuck.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Yamamoto Tsunetomo
“If one is but secure at the foundation, he will not be pained by departure from minor details or affairs that are contrary to expectation. But in the end, the details of a matter are important. The right and wrong of one's way of doing things are found in trivial matters.”
Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

Joseph Campbell
“I don't think there is any such thing as an ordinary mortal. Everybody has his own possibility of rapture in the experience of life. All he has to do is recognize it and then cultivate it and get going with it. I always feel uncomfortable when people speak about ordinary mortals because I've never met an ordinary man, woman, or child.”
Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

Malcolm X
“All of us—who might have probed space, or cured cancer, or built industries—were, instead, black victims of the white man’s American social system.”
Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Toni Morrison
“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.”
Toni Morrison
