Steve Jobs
“I didn’t invent the language or mathematics I used. I make little of my one food, none of my own clothes. Everything I do depends on other members of our species and the shoulders that we stand on. And a lot of us want to contribute something back to our species and to add something to the flow. It’s about trying to express something in the only way that most of us know how because we can’t write Bob Dylan songs or Tom Stoppard plays. We try to use the talents we do have to express our deep feelings, to show our appreciation of all the contributions that came before us, and to add something to that flow. That’s what has driven me.”
Steve Jobs

Albert Einstein
“Bir insanın marş eşliğinde uygun adım yürümekten keyif alabilmesi, onu küçümsemem için yeterli bir nedendir. O büyük beyni, ona bir yanlışlık sonucu verilmiştir.”
Albert Einstein
