“Ultimately, it comes down to taste. It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done and then try to bring those things into what you're doing. Picasso had a saying: good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas, and I think part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.” PeopleThinkingWorldTryingHumansMadeIdeasDoneArtistInspiringHappenedPoetTasteComputerMusicianScientistStealingBest ThingsMemorableBeing The BestCopiesHistorianGreat ArtGreat IdeaGreat ArtistGood ArtShamelessGood ArtistMacintoshZoologist Author:Steve Jobs
“I never cheat or steal. Also, I never wear a top-hat with a sack coat or munch bananas in public on the streets, because a gentleman does not do those things either.

“Homosexual feelings are controllable. Perhaps there is an inclination or susceptibility to such feelings that is a reality for some and not a reality for others. But out of such susceptibilities come feelings, and feelings are controllable. If we cater to the feelings, they increase the power of the temptation. If we yield to the temptation, we have committed sinful behavior. That pattern is the same for a person that covets someone else's property and has a strong temptation to steal. It's the same for a person that develops a taste for alcohol.” IfsPersonsFeelingsRealityStrongTasteBehaviorIncreasePropertyPatternsCommittedAlcoholStealingTemptationYieldHomosexualInclinationSusceptibility Author:Dallin H.

“That kind of tenderness couldn't be permitted to last. You only got a taste, enough to know what perfection meant, and then you paid for it the rest of your life.

You paid for every second of beauty you managed to steal.” KnowsKindMadeEnoughLastsGuyFireRocksTastePerfectionEternityPaidStealingTendernessEaglesRest Of Your LifeLiverEvery SecondChained Book:Paint It Black Source: Paint It Black
