Walter Isaacson Quotes.

11. "Atop the brochure McKenna put a maxim, often attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, that would become the defining precept of Jobs’s design philosophy: Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
- Quote by Walter Isaacson

12. "When the conventional wisdom of physics seemed to conflict with an elegant theory of his, Einstein was inclined to question that wisdom rather than his theory, often to have his stubbornness rewarded."
- Quote by Walter Isaacson

13. "Тоя свят няма да загине от атомна бомба, както ни казват вестниците - не, ще загине от смях, от баналност, от факта, че си прави шега с всичко, че и лоша шега на това отгоре."
- Quote by Walter Isaacson

14. "‹‹Tenho simpatia pela força de capacitação da ingenuidade››, diz Atkinson. ‹‹Uma vez que eu não sabia que não podia ser feito, fiquei capacitado para o fazer.››"
- Quote by Walter Isaacson

15. "Occasionally, (Einstein) would take rambling walks on his own, which could be dicey. One day someone called the Institute and asked to speak to a particular dean. When his secretary said that the dean wasn’t available, the caller hesitatingly asked for Einstein’s home address. That was not possible to give out, he was informed. The caller’s voice then dropped to a whisper. ‘Please don’t tell anybody,’ he said, ‘but I am Dr. Einstein, I’m on my way home, and I’ve forgotten where my house is."
- Quote by Walter Isaacson

16. "I had a real revelation. We were all in robes, and they made some Turkish coffee for us. The professor explained how the coffee was made very different from anywhere else, and I realized, 'So fucking what?' Which kids even in Turkey give a shit about Turkish coffee? All day I had looked at young people in Istanbul. They were all drinking what every other kind in the world drinks, and they were wearing clothes that look like they were bought at the Gap, and they are all using cell phones. They were like kids everywhere else. It hit me that, for young people, this whole world is the same now. When we're making products, there is no such thing as a Turkish phone, or a music player that young people in Turkey would want that's different from one young people elsewhere would want. We're just one world now."
- Quote by Walter Isaacson

17. "عندما كنت صغيرا، لطالما ظننت أنني شخص مهتم بالآداب، ولكنني كنت شخصاً أحب الإلكترونيات، ثم قرأت مقالاً قال فيه أحد علمائي المفضلين، وهو إدوين لاند من شركة بولارويد ، شيئاً عن أهمية الأشخاص الذين يقفون في مفترض الطرق بين الآداب والعلوم، و قررت أن هذاهو ما أريد فعله"
- Quote by Walter Isaacson

18. "We didn’t know much about each other twenty years ago. We were guided by our intuition; you swept me off my feet. It was snowing when we got married at the Ahwahnee. Years passed, kids came, good times, hard times, but never bad times. Our love and respect has endured and grown. We’ve been through so much together and here we are right back where we started twenty years ago - older, wiser - with wrinkles on our faces and hearts. We now know many of life’s joys, sufferings, secrets and wonders and we’re still here together. My feet have never returned to the ground."
- Quote by Walter Isaacson

19. "In ancient Rome, when a victorious general paraded through the streets, legend has it that he was sometimes trailed by a servant whose job it was to repeat to him, " Memento Mori": Remember you will die. A reminder of mortality would help the hero keep things in perspective, instill some humility."
- Quote by Walter Isaacson

20. "(Einstein to Hilbert) I feel compelled to say something else to you. There has been a certain ill-feeling between us the cause of which I do not want to analyze. I have struggled against the feeling of bitternes attached to it, with complete success. I think of you again with unmixed geniality and ask you to try to do the same with me. It is a shame when two real fellows who have extricated themselves somewhat from this shabby world do not afford each other mutual pleasure."
