Never trust a computer you can't throw out a windo...

What I was proud of was that I used very few parts to build a computer that could actually speak words on a screen and type words on a keyboard and run a programming language that could play games. And I did all this myself.

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.

At our computer club, we talked about it being a revolution. Computers were going to belong to everyone, and give us power, and free us from the people who owned computers and all that stuff.

No one ever said on their deathbed, 'Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer'.

Your car should drive itself. It's amazing to me that we let humans drive cars... It's a bug that cars were invented before computers.

People are craving this great progress in electronics, going after computers, the Internet, etc. It's a giant progress technologically. But they must have a balance of soul, a balance for human beauty. That means art has an important role.

That's what happens nowadays with people working on computers. They can so easily fix things with their mouse and take out all the, 'Oh, somebody coughed in the background we need to take that out' - or somebody hit a bad note. Those are all the best moments.

Age appears to be best in four things old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.

Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty.

Non-disclosure in the Internet Age is quickly perceived as a breach of trust. Government, corporations and each of us as individuals must recalibrate how we live and share our lives appropriate to the information now available and the expectations of others.
