On the character
I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year.
On good design
That's been one of my mottos－focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex；You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there，you can move mountains.

Saying we've done something wonderful when going to bed at night. That's what matters to me.
On your working life
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life，and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. If you haven't found it yet，keep looking. Don't settle.
On the importance of death
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be，because Death is even likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you，but some day not too long from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
