It's not about charisma and personality, it's about results and products and those very bedrock things that are why people at Apple and outside of Apple are getting more excited about the company and what Apple stands for and what its potential is to contribute to the industry.

Steve Jobs

Let us not be ashamed to speak what we shame not to think.

Michel de Montaigne

As the few adepts in such things well know, universal morality is to be found in little everyday penny-events just as much as in great ones. There is so much goodness and ingenuity in a raindrop that an apothecary wouldn't let it go for less than half-a-crown...

Anna Kendrick

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

Ernest Hemingway

David Helvarg

It seems to me there is a change in what audiences want to see. I can only hope that's correct, because there's an awful lot of people of my age around now and we outnumber the others.

Maggie Smith

Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second.

Bernard Berenson

Everything makes sense a bit at a time. But when you try to think of it all at once, it comes out wrong.

Terry Pratchett
