Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was 00 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all, and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell.

Sherilyn Fenn

The ultimate aim of the human mind, in all its efforts, is to become acquainted with Truth.

Eliza Farnham

The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility.

My mom and dad played this music all the time when I was growing up, so to me songs by Jerry Lee and Fats Domino are the classics, they're the best songs ever.

Chris Isaak

I would never have done what I'd done if I'd considered my father as somebody I wanted to please.

Robert Mapplethorpe

I'm old enough to remember the end of World War II. On Aug. 14, 1946, a year after the Japanese were defeated, most newspapers and magazines had single articles commemorating the end of the war.

Harry Browne

His high spiced wares were made to sell, and they sold; and his thousands of readers could as rationally charge their delight in filth upon him, as a glutton can shift upon his cook the responsibility of his beastly excess.

Charles Dickens
