Pidato utama pada konferensi penjualan tahunan Apple pertama memperkenalkan Macintosh "1984" komersial , yang berakhir dengan penyiar mengatakan "Pada 24 Januari, Apple Computer akan memperkenalkan Macintosh. Dan Anda akan melihat mengapa 1984 tidak akan seperti 1984 . " (Oktober 1983) - (vidio jering)
We're gambling on our vision, and we would rather do that than make "me too" products. Let some other companies do that. For us, it's always the next dream.
Interview about the release of the Macintosh (24 January 1984) - (online video)
It's rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing.
At age 29, as quoted in Playboy (February 1985)
"You‘ve got to start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology - not the other way around."
If, for some reason, we make some big mistake and IBM wins, my personal feeling is that we are going to enter a computer Dark Ages for about twenty years.
On the early rivalry between Macintosh and "IBM-compatible" computers based on Microsoft's DOS, as quoted in Steve Jobs: The Journey is the Reward (1987) by Jeffrey S. Young, p. 235
I feel like somebody just punched me in the stomach and knocked all my wind out. I'm only 30 years old and I want to have a chance to continue creating things. I know I've got at least one more great computer in me. And Apple is not going to give me a chance to do that.
On his expulsion from any position of authority at Apple, after having invited John Sculley to become CEO, as quoted in Playboy (September 1987)
Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?
A comment he made in persuading John Sculley to become Apple's CEO, as quoted in Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple: A Journey of Adventure, Ideas, and the Future (1987) by John Sculley and John A. Byrne
It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the Navy.
At a retreat in September 1982, as quoted in John Sculley and John A. Byrne, Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple – A Journey of Adventure, Ideas, and the Future (1987), p. 157
Variant: Why join the Navy . . . if you can be a pirate?
As quoted or paraphrased in Young Guns: The Fearless Entrepreneur's Guide to Chasing Your Dreams and Breaking Out on Your Own (2009) by Robert Tuchman, p. 18
Woz and I very much liked Bob Dylan's poetry, and we spent a lot of time thinking about a lot of that stuff. This was California. You could get LSD fresh made from Stanford. You could sleep on the beach at night with your girlfriend. California has a sense of experimentation and a sense of openness—openness to new possibilities.
My opinion is that the only two computer companies that are software-driven are Apple and NeXT, and I wonder about Apple.
As quoted in Fortune (26 August 1991)
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful... that's what matters to me.
On the success of Bill Gates and Microsoft, as quoted in The Wall Street Journal (Summer 1993)
Unfortunately, people are not rebelling against Microsoft. They don’t know any better.
Interview in Rolling Stone magazine, no. 684 (16 June 1994)
When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money. That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard. You put so much of your life into this thing. There are such rough moments in time that I think most people give up. I don't blame them. Its really tough and it consumes your life. If you've got a family and you're in the early days of a company, I can't imagine how one could do it. I'm sure its been done but its rough. Its pretty much an eighteen hour day job, seven days a week for awhile. Unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're not going to survive. You're going to give it up. So you've got to have an idea, or a problem or a wrong that you want to right that you're passionate about otherwise you're not going to have the perseverance to stick it through. I think that's half the battle right there.
John Sculley ruined Apple and he ruined it by bringing a set of values to the top of Apple which were corrupt and corrupted some of the top people who were there, drove out some of the ones who were not corruptible, and brought in more corrupt ones and paid themselves collectively tens of millions of dollars and cared more about their own glory and wealth than they did about what built Apple in the first place — which was making great computers for people to use.
We believe it's the biggest advance in animation since Walt Disney started it all with the release of Snow White 50 years ago.
On Toy Story as quoted in Fortune (18 September 1995)
If I knew in 1986 how much it was going to cost to keep Pixar going, I doubt if I would have bought the company.
As quoted in Fortune (18 September 1995)
You know, I've got a plan that could rescue Apple. I can't say any more than that it's the perfect product and the perfect strategy for Apple. But nobody there will listen to me.
As quoted in Fortune (18 September 1995)
The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.
When you're young, you look at television and think, There's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That's a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It's the truth.
Interview in WIRED magazine (February 1996)
[Miele] really thought the process through. They did such a great job designing these washers and dryers. I got more thrill out of them than I have out of any piece of high tech in years.
On design excellence, in WIRED magazine (February 1996)
If I were running Apple, I would milk the Macintosh for all it's worth — and get busy on the next great thing. The PC wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago.
As quoted in Fortune (19 February 1996)
I was worth about over a million dollars when I was twenty-three and over ten million dollars when I was twenty-four, and over a hundred million dollars when I was twenty-five and it wasn't that important because I never did it for the money.
The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And 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.
Triumph of the Nerds (1996)
I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success — I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products.
Triumph of the Nerds (1996)
We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.
Triumph of the Nerds (1996)
I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.
The products suck! There's no sex in them anymore!
On products at Apple, just before his return to it BusinessWeek (July 1997)
Apple has some tremendous assets, but I believe without some attention, the company could, could, could — I'm searching for the right word — could, could die.
On his return as interim CEO of Apple, as quoted in TIME magazine (18 August 1997)
Nobody has tried to swallow us since I've been here. I think they are afraid how we would taste.
At the annual Apple shareholder meeting (22 April 1998)Citakan:Fix cite
iMac is next year's computer for $1,299, not last year's computer for $999.
Introduction of the first iMac computer in Cupertino, Calif., (6 May 1998)Citakan:Fix cite
But in the end, for something this complicated, 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.
Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
I think Pixar has the opportunity to be the next Disney — not replace Disney — but be the next Disney.
As quoted in BusinessWeek (23 November 1998)
I found that there were these incredibly great people at doing certain things, and that you couldn't replace one of these people with 50 average people. They could just do things that no number of average people could do.
We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.The system is that there is no system...I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next.And one more thing...
We made the buttons on the screen look so good you'll want to lick them.
On Mac OS X's Aqua user interface, as quoted in Fortune magazine (24 January 2000)
You've baked a really lovely cake, but then you've used dog shit for frosting.
Steve Jobs commenting on a NeXT programmer's work, as quoted in The Second Coming of Steve Jobs (2000) by Alan Deutschman
I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.
It will go down in history as a turning point for the music industry. This is landmark stuff. I can't overestimate it!
On the iPod and the iTunes Music Store, as quoted in Fortune magazine (12 May 2003)
There are sneakers that cost more than an iPod.
On the iPod's $300 price tag, as quoted in Newsweek (27 October 2003)
People think it's this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, 'Make it look good!' That's not what we think design is. It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
We don't believe it's possible to protect digital content … What's new is this amazingly efficient distribution system for stolen property called the Internet — and no one's gonna shut down the Internet. And it only takes one stolen copy to be on the Internet. And the way we expressed it to them is: Pick one lock — open every door. It only takes one person to pick a lock. Worst case: Somebody just takes the analog outputs of their CD player and rerecords it — puts it on the Internet. You'll never stop that. So what you have to do is compete with it.
The subscription model of buying music is bankrupt. I think you could make available the Second Coming in a subscription model and it might not be successful.
As quoted in "Steve Jobs: The Rolling Stone Interview" in Rolling Stone (3 December 2003)
We used to dream about this stuff. Now we get to build it. It's pretty great.
We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.

Why would I ever want to run Disney? Wouldn't it make more sense just to sell them Pixar and retire?
As quoted in Fortune (23 February 2004)
The cure for Apple is not cost-cutting. The cure for Apple is to innovate its way out of its current predicament.
As quoted in Apple Confidential 2.0: The Definitive History of the World's Most Colorful Company (2004) by Owen W. Linzmayer
It wasn't that Microsoft was so brilliant or clever in copying the Mac, it's that the Mac was a sitting duck for 10 years. That's Apple's problem: Their differentiation evaporated.
As quoted in Apple Confidential 2.0: The Definitive History of the World's Most Colorful Company (2004) by Owen W. Linzmayer
I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year.... It's very character-building.
As quoted in Apple Confidential 2.0: The Definitive History of the World's Most Colorful Company (2004) by Owen W. Linzmayer
I get asked a lot why Apple's customers are so loyal. It's not because they belong to the Church of Mac! That's ridiculous.
I've always wanted to own and control the primary technology in everything we do.
As quoted in "The Seed of Apple's Innovation" in BusinessWeek (12 October 2004)
The system is that there is no system. That doesn't mean we don't have process. Apple is a very disciplined company, and we have great processes. But that's not what it's about. Process makes you more efficient. But innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem. It's ad hoc meetings of six people called by someone who thinks he has figured out the coolest new thing ever and who wants to know what other people think of his idea. And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.
As quoted in "The Seed of Apple's Innovation" in BusinessWeek (12 October 2004)
I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next.
You know, you keep on innovating, you keep on making better stuff. And if you always want the latest and greatest, then you have to buy a new iPod at least once a year.
Look at the design of a lot of consumer products — they're really complicated surfaces. We tried to make something much more holistic and simple. When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex, and most people stop there. But if you keep going, and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion off, you can often times arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions. Most people just don't put in the time or energy to get there. We believe that customers are smart, and want objects which are well thought through.
On the design of the iPod, as quoted in Newsweek (14 October 2006)
We had the hardware expertise, the industrial design expertise and the software expertise, including iTunes. One of the biggest insights we have was that we decided not to try to manage your music library on the iPod, but to manage it in iTunes. Other companies tried to do everything on the device itself and made it so complicated that it was useless.
On the design of the iPod, as quoted in Newsweek (14 October 2006)
The art of those commercials is not to be mean, but it is actually for the guys to like each other.
I've seen the demonstrations on the Internet about how you can find another person using a Zune and give them a song they can play three times. It takes forever. By the time you've gone through all that, the girl's got up and left! You're much better off to take one of your earbuds out and put it in her ear. Then you're connected with about two feet of headphone cable.
When asked whether he was concerned over MicrosoftZune's wireless capability, as a product competing with Apple's iPod, as quoted in Newsweek (14 October 2006)
Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything. It's very fortunate if you can work on just one of these in your career. … Apple's been very fortunate in that it's introduced a few of these.
A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets.
Interview with the New York Times (5 June 2007)
I wish developing great products was as easy as writing a check. If that was the case, Microsoft would have great products.
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. the round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. The're not fond of rules. And thay have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crasy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think thay can change the world are the ones who do.
Mac OS X has been leading a secret double life — for the past five years.
Yes, it's true.
On the plans for Apple Computer, Inc. to begin using Intel processors in its Macintosh computers during 2006 and 2007. About twenty two minutes into his address. Rumors of such plans had existed for years, but had been growing more credible and prolific for about a week before his announcement.
Now, I have something to tell you today. Mac OS X has been leading a secret double life — for the past five years. There have been rumors to this effect... but this is Apple's campus in Cupertino — let's zoom in on it — in that building right there... we've had teams doing the "just-in-case" scenario; and our rules have been that our designs for OS X must be processor independent, and that every project must be built for both the Power PC and Intel processors. And so today for the first time, I can confirm the rumors that every release of OS X has been compiled for both Power PC and Intel — this has been going on for the last five years. Just in case.
So Mac OS X is cross-platform by design, right from the very beginning. So Mac OS X is singing on Intel processors, and I'd just like to show you right now. As a matter of fact... this system I've been using here... Let go have a look... [reveals that the system he had been using for the presentation was running Mac OS X 10.4.1 on a machine using a 3.6 GHz Pentium 4 processor] So.. we've been running on an Intel machine all morning.
We intend to release Leopard at the end of 2006 or early 2007, right around the time when Microsoft is expected to release Longhorn.
Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking.The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don’t settle.
I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to [learn calligraphy]. I learned about serif and sans-serif typefaces, about varying the space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful. Historical. Artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture. And I found it fascinating. None of this had any hope of any practical application in my life. But 10 years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would never have multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. 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. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don’t settle.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very 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 someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
- digital hub (center of our universe) is moving from PC to cloud - PC now just another client alongside iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, ... - Apple is in danger of hanging on to old paradigm too long (innovator's dilemma) - Google and Microsoft are further along on the technology, but haven't quite figured it out yet - tie all of our products together, so we further lock customers into our ecosystem
Sometimes I believe in God, sometimes I don’t. I think it’s 50-50 maybe. But ever since I’ve had cancer, I’ve been thinking about it more. And I find myself believing a bit more. I kind of – maybe it’s ’cause I want to believe in an afterlife. That when you die, it doesn’t just all disappear. The wisdom you’ve accumulated. Somehow it lives on, but sometimes I think it’s just like an on-off switch. Click and you’re gone. And that’s why I don’t like putting on-off switches on Apple devices.
"If it could save a person’s life, could you find a way to save ten seconds off the boot time? If there were five million people using the Mac, and it took ten seconds extra to turn it on every day, that added up to three hundred million or so hours per year people would save, which was the equivalent of at least one hundred lifetimes saved per year.
You always have to keep pushing to innovate. Dylan could have sung protest songs forever and probably made a lot of money, but he didn’t. He had to move on, and when he did, by going electric in 1965, he alienated a lot of people. His 1966 Europe tour was his greatest…. The Beatles were the same way. They kept evolving, moving, refining their art. That’s what I’ve always tried to do — keep moving. Otherwise, as Dylan says, if you are not busy being born, you’re busy dying.
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they've had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.
Last words (5 October 2011), as reported by his sister Mona Simpson in her eulogy for her brother on 16 October 2011, at his memorial service at the Memorial Church of Stanford University; presented in the New York Times (30 October 2011) (The words were capitalized in the text.) According to Ms. Simpson, these words were spoken hours before his death, and after "he’d looked at his sister Patty, then for a long time at his children, then at his life’s partner, Laurene, and then over their shoulders past them."
This is a favorite phrase of Jobs, but he is (mis)quoting Pablo Picasso. "Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal" is similarly attributed to Igor Stravinsky, but both sayings may well originate in T. S. Eliot's dictum: "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different than that from which it is torn."
My girlfriend always laughs during sex — no matter what she's reading.
This has appeared rather prominently on the internet, usually without indications of a source, and is often attributed to Jobs, but it was actually part of the comedy routines of Emo Philips, who used "giggles" rather than "laughs" on his comedy album Emo.
I never really get to see, except second hand, how abrupt he is with people. ~ Steve Wozniak
If you just want to say, "Steve Jobs invented the world, and then the rest of us came along," that's fine. If you’re interested, [Vista development chief] Jim Allchin will be glad to educate you feature by feature what the truth is. … Let’s be realistic, who came up with "File/Edit/View/Help"? Do you want to go back to the original Mac and think about where those interface concepts came from?
Steve insists that we're shipping in early 1982, and won't accept answers to the contrary. The best way to describe the situation is a term from Star Trek. Steve has a reality distortion field.… In his presence, reality is malleable. He can convince anyone of practically anything. It wears off when he's not around, but it makes it hard to have realistic schedules.
I never really get to see, except second hand, how abrupt he is with people. I couldn't be that way with people. But maybe that's what you need to run a business, to find things that are worthless and get rid of them.
Steve Wozniak, quoted in Fire in the Valley (2000) by Freiberger and Swaine
Se tu penserai e giudicherai da buon borghese | li condannerai a cinquemila anni più le spese. | Ma se capirai, se li cercherai fino in fondo | se non sono gigli son pur sempre figli, | vittime di questo mondo. (da La città vecchia)
Ama e ridi se amor risponde | piangi forte se non ti sente | dai diamanti non nasce niente | dal letame nascono i fior. (da Via del Campo)
C'è chi l'amore lo fa per noia | chi se lo sceglie per professione | bocca di rosa né l'uno né l'altro | lei lo faceva per passione. (da Bocca di rosa)
E per tutti il dolore degli altri | è dolore a metà. (da Disamistade)
Gesù di Nazareth [...] secondo me è stato ed è rimasto il più grande rivoluzionario di tutti i tempi.
Io penso che un uomo senza utopia, senza sogno, senza ideali, vale a dire senza passioni e senza slanci sarebbe un mostruoso animale fatto semplicemente di istinto e di raziocinio, una specie di cinghiale laureato in matematica pura.
Citazioni su Fabrizio De André
E invece Fabrizio è tra i grandi poeti del rock, anzi per me è un santo. (Wim Wenders)
Si dice che Fabrizio sia il Dylan italiano, perché non dire che Dylan è il Fabrizio americano? (Fernanda Pivano)
Scrittore, drammaturgo, pensatore religioso e filosofo russo.
Essere buono e vivere una vita buona significa dare agli altri più di ciò che prendiamo loro.
Il male nasce dalla disunione fra le persone.
L'amore impedisce la morte. L'amore è vita. Tutto, tutto ciò che io capisco, lo capisco solamente perché amo. È solo questo che tiene insieme tutto quanto. L'amore è Dio, e il morire significa che io, una particella dell'amore, ritorno alla sorgente eterna e universale.
La compassione per gli animali è la più preziosa qualità dell'uomo e io (come uomo) sono tanto più felice quanto più la sviluppo in me.
Loro (la gente) mi giudichino pure come vogliono, posso ingannare loro, ma non ingannerò me stesso.
Non vi è che un modo per essere felici: vivere per gli altri.
Citazioni su Lev Tolstoj
Fu il più grande apostolo della non-violenza che l'epoca attuale abbia dato. Nessuno in Occidente, prima o dopo di lui, ha parlato e scritto della non-violenza così ampiamente e insistentemente, e con tanta penetrazione e intuito. (Mahatma Gandhi)
Tolstoj non ha espresso soltanto il desiderio di fratellanza, così profondo nel popolo russo, ma il bisogno di pace di tutti noi. E ha cercato, anche per noi, una fede. (Enzo Biagi)

Kalau dulu saya mengatakan DPR TK (Taman Kanak-kanak –red), sekarang malah playgroup.
Kemajemukan harus bisa diterima, tanpa ada perbedaan.
Tidak boleh lagi ada pembedaan kepada setiap warga negara Indonesia berdasarkan agama, bahasa ibu, kebudayaan serta ideologi.
Kalau sekarang ini ada yang menjelekkan nama Islam, kita didik agar membawa nama Islam yang damai.
Seolah-olah Islam diwakili oleh mereka yang keras-keras itu. Enggak bener.
Guyonan CIA di Indonesia sudah tidak ada teroris lagi, karena semua teroris sudah jadi menteri.
Jadinya kita menjadi bangsa yang jadi bahan tertawaan orang. Masak Timor Leste yang kayak itu saja mereka bisa permainkan kita.
Kita ini celaka. 70 persen tanah air kita laut, tetapi garam saja impor. Kalau bodoh sih gak apa-apa, tapi kalau disengaja kok bodoh. Saya tahu impor setiap satu ton dapat 10 dolar. Jadi impor itu hanya menguntungkan yang impor saja.
Suatu kaum atau seseorang yang hidupnya penuh kebencian dan permusuhan tak akan pernah tenang, terhormat dan berjaya selain hina dan menderita.
Jika kita memelihara kebencian dan dendam, maka seluruh waktu dan pikiran yang kita miliki akan habis dan kita tidak akan pernah menjadi orang yang produktif.
Masalah paling besar bangsa ini bukanlah karena kurangnya tanah lapang, namun karena kurangnya hati-hati yang lapang
Kekurangan orang lain adalah ladang pahala bagi kita untuk memaafkannya, mendoakannya, memperbaikinya, dan menjaga aibnya.
Ketika kita merasa berjasa sedang orang lain merasa terhinakan, itu pertanda kita tengah gagal. Sukses itu juga diukur lewat kebersamaan.
Bertekadlah bahwa hidup yang sekali-kalinya ini tidak akan pernah merampas hak kebahagiaan dan ketenangan orang lain.
