Quotes
Corinthians
Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.

1.) The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste; they have absolutely no taste. And what that means is - I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way - in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas, and they don’t bring much culture into their products. And so I guess I am saddened, not by Microsoft’s success; I have no problem with their success, they’ve earned their success, in the most part; I have a problem with the fact they make really third rate products.

3.) “It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.”

Al Gore
In a speech delivered at Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama, President Bush addressed the American Initiative. During his address, the President said:
“The government funded research in microdrive storage, electrochemistry and signal compression. They did so for one reason: It turned out that those were the key ingredients for the development of the iPod. I tune into the iPod occasionally, you know…”
The President was joking, of course. When asked if he thought the joke was funny, Apple Board of Directors member Al Gore said, “No.”
Ernest Hemingway
1.) The first draft of anything is shit.

The leaves yellow on the cottonwoods
Leaves floating on the trout streams
And above the hills
The high blue windless sky
Now he will be a part of them forever.

If you have it, You don’t need it.
If you need it, you don’t have it.
If you have it, You need more of it.
If you have more of it, you don’t need less of it.
You need it, to get it.
And you certainly need it to get more of it.
But if you don’t already have any of it to begin with, you can’t get any of it to get started.
Which means you really don’t have any idea how to get it in the first place. do you?
You can share it, sure.
You can even stock pile it if you like.
But you can’t fake it.
Wanting it, Needing it, wishing for it.
The point is, if you never had any of it ever, people just seem to know.

What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?
