I only really watch sport. That's where you see real joy. I don't like watching much else on TV because it's generally either twisted or sad.

More generally I made an effort to leave out things that weren't relevant to the main narrative themes of the book namely that there were two sides to Steve Jobs: the romantic poetic countercultural rebel on one side and the serious businessperson on the other.

I think that the romantic impulse is in all of us and that sometimes we live it for a short time but it's not part of a sensible way of living. It's a heroic path and it generally ends dangerously.

As a politician you have to deal with someone wanting you to fail every day. I think I prefer being in a situation where generally people are rooting for me and if they aren't rooting for me they aren't out there to see my downfall. I respect the people who have the stomach for it.

Generally speaking the errors in religion are dangerous those in philosophy only ridiculous.

A tool is usually more simple than a machine it is generally used with the hand whilst a machine is frequently moved by animal or steam power.

Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong wrong will generally be done.

No man deserves to be praised for his goodness who has it not in his power to be wicked. Goodness without that power is generally nothing more than sloth or an impotence of will.

Next to enjoying ourselves the next greatest pleasure consists in preventing others from enjoying themselves or more generally in the acquisition of power.

Generally I'm a pretty positive but like any other working person if the jobs aren't coming in I do get depressed.
