The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

"The major threats to survival that our ancestors faced - predators, starvation, disease - left their mark on our fears and anxieties."

我们祖先面临的主要生存威胁 - 捕食者、饥饿、疾病 - 在我们的恐惧和焦虑中留下了印记。

美国也是一种幻觉，是所有幻觉中最伟大的一个。

And America, too, is a delusion, the grandest one of all.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

乔布斯辞职的消息公布以后，苹果的股价整整上涨了1美元，涨幅近7%。一家科技股快讯的编辑解释说：“东海岸的股票持有者总是担心在加州管理公司的人不靠谱。现在沃兹尼亚克和乔布斯都走了，这些股东也松了一口气。”但是早在10年前指导过乔布斯的雅达利创始人诺兰却不这么看。他对《时代周刊》表示，苹果会无比怀念乔布斯的。乔布斯走了之后，“苹果的灵感将从哪里来？一个充满百事可乐风格的苹果还能激发消费者的浪漫联想吗？

几年后，他反思自己的精神感受时说，宗教应该更多地强调精神体验，而不是一味遵守教条。“当基督教太过苦于信仰，而忽略了以耶稣的方式生活或者从耶稣的角度看世界时，它的精髓就消失了。”

I think we have been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.

我认为我们已经经历了一个时期，太多的人被引导去理解，如果他们有问题，这是政府的工作来应对它。“我有一个问题，我会获得补助。”“我无家可归，政府必须给我住房。”他们把问题抛给社会。而且，你知道，没有社会这种东西。只有个人男性和女性以及家庭。除了通过人民，政府什么也做不了，而人民必须首先照顾自己。照顾自己是我们的责任，然后，也要照顾我们的邻居。人们太过于考虑权利，而忽视了义务。
