“Death… is a reality… Life ends definitely when the subject, by his actions, no longer affects his environment. . . . He can no longer add an iota to the sum total of his experience.”
当人无法改善周边的环境，无法增长自身经验体会时，才是一个人真正的死亡“I believe that we have to content ourselves with our imperfect knowledge and understanding and treat values and moral obligations as purely human.”
承认对于知识与世界的理解有局限性“Our death is not an end if we have lived on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us; our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.”
有人铭记，则永生
和Coco的表述是一样的“I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it.”
“…I have faith in my purpose here on earth. I have faith in my intuition, the language of my conscience, but I have no faith in speculation about Heaven and Hell.”
知道自己热爱、能奉献的事业是什么，和乔布斯的Make Something Wonderful是一致的“One lives all one’s life under constant tension till it is time to go for good.”
这句话一下子还没看懂
尝试理解下是：人们紧张忙碌生活，可能是因为未找到自己人生所爱的事业，一旦发现，即可宁静“Brief is this existence, like a brief visit in a strange house. The path to be pursued is poorly lit by a flickering consciousness whose center is the limiting and separating “I.”
“人生短暂，宛如造访一间奇特的房子，又迅速离去，所走的道路勉强被摇曳不定的意识照亮。”“The only way fate can strike you two down is when you yourselves die one day.”
“I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially; I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.”
好忧伤“…I have grown old myself and have come to regard death like an old debt, at long last to be discharged. Still instinctively one does everything possible to delay this last fulfillment. Thus is the game which nature plays with us.”
“Remember your humanity and forget all the rest. If you can do so, the way lies open to a new Paradise; if you cannot, there lies before you the risk of universal death.”
“Neither on my death bed nor before will I ask myself such a question. Nature is not an engineer or contractor, and I myself am a part of Nature.”
“An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.”
“Now Besso has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
乔布斯经典照片集 坐在麗莎電腦旁。他說：「毕加索曾說：「好的藝術家懂得模仿，佛大的藝術家善於偷取。」因此，窃取偉大的點子沒有什麼好羞耻的。 與蓋茲在電話中達成協議：「比爾，謝謝你支持蘋果。因為你的支持，世界將變得更美好。」 1997年蘋果在波士頓舉行的麥金塔世界大會，蓋茲透過衛星連線在巨大的螢幕上出現。質伯斯說：「我真是笨死了，竟然讓蓋兹以這種方式現身。他讓我看起來好沙小。」 ──时刻自省 前言 The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. 只有那些瘋狂到以為自己可以改變世界的人， 才能改變這個世界。 這麼些年來，賈伯斯說起話來的認真與專注態度，著實打動不少人。我們一直保持連絡，即使在他被逐出蘋果之後，我們還有來往。每次他有新產品要推出時，像 NeXT 電腦或皮克斯 (Pixar）的電影，他就會來找我。他常帶我去曼哈頓下城一家壽司店用餐，講起他的產品，渾身散發出光和熱，眉飛色舞的說這是他登峰造極之作。我喜歡這個人。 ──对自己产品深深的爱 他的堅持教我疑惑。人人都知道賈伯斯不道餘力捍衛隱私， 而且我不知道他是否看過我寫的任何一本傳記。我還是不敢立刻答應，只說或許再等等。然而到了 2009年，我接到他太太蘿琳． 鮑威爾打來的電話。她直截了當說：「如果你還想為史帝夫寫傳，最好趕快動筆。」這是他第二次因病向公司請長假。我坦言他早在2004 年得知自己罹患胰臟癌的時候就曾主動邀我寫傳，但我當時對他罹癌的事一無所知。蘿琳解釋說，他們盡量保密，因此當時根本沒幾個人知道。他是在動手術的前夕打電話給我的。 ──和Make Something Wonderful对照起来看 他還說，自從他回到蘋果重新掌權，這十二年來是他創造新產品的高峰期，但他還有更重要的目標，也就是效法惠普的惠立和普克（David Packard），締造一家創新動力無限的公司，進而超越惠普。 ──苹果公司才是乔布斯最得意的产品 他說：「我一直認為，自己是個偏向人文的孩子，但我也喜歡電子的東西。後來，我讀到寶麗來(Polaroid）創辦人蘭德 (Edwin Land）曾說過，一個人能站在人文和科學的交會口，兼容贯通，才是真正的人才。在那當下，我决定要當這樣的人。」他似乎在暗示我，這可以做為傳...
