We live in a culture that doesn't acknowledge or validate human intuition and doesn't encourage us to rely on our intuitive wisdom.

What's sad is that there is an addictive quality to that to believing your own hype to allowing yourself to become validated by others and no longer by yourself. That's the danger of celebrity.

I mean if you have to wake up in the morning to be validated by the editorial page of the New York Times you got a pretty sorry existence.

Straight couples don't have to be monogamous to be married or married to be monogamous. Monogamy no more defines marriage than the presence of children does. Monogamy isn't compulsory and its absence doesn't invalidate a marriage.

A man's friendships are like his will invalidated by marriage - but they are also no less invalidated by the marriage of his friends.

If this validates anything it's that learning how to bunt and hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera.

Bottom line is I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25 my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

I understand a woman who validates herself by getting attention from the opposite sex. I have a friend who is that to a T... Doesn't mean she isn't a good person. That's a funny character to play.

I love being famous. It validates that I have something to say.

The Supreme Court of the United States... has validated the Nazi method of execution in... concentration camps starving them to death.
