Life is a balance of fear and overcoming it.

Apple Music is trying to create an entire pop culture experience that includes audio and video. If South Park walks into my office, I'm not going to say, 'You're not musicians.' We're going to do whatever hits pop culture smack on the nose.

Elvis Presley was the big bang. He was the most influential single figure in the history of American pop culture. He changed the way we looked, thought, dressed, held a guitar. He didn't invent rock & roll, but he defined it in a way that everyone who followed him owes him a debt.

Beats succeeded because, as music lovers, we knew oscilloscopes don't buy headphones - people do.

Dylan captured what was on a million minds and turned it into poetry. With 'Blowin' in the Wind' or 'The Times They Are A-Changin',' he set a whole new standard.

I couldn't make a headphone look like a piece of medical equipment or a toy, as most headphones do.

Enthusiasm moves the world.

I never forgive, but I always forget.

It is unfortunate, considering that enthusiasm moves the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth.

It's in my stars to invent; I was born on Madame Curie's birthday. I have this need for originals, for innovation. That's why I like Charlie Parker.

I don't understand why Europeans and South Americans can take more sophistication. Why is it that Americans need to hear their happiness major and their tragedy minor, and as jazzy as they can handle is a seventh chord? Are they not experiencing complex emotions?

You have this mounting aggressive ignorance with the rabbit's foot of their particular religion. You don't really have any kind of spiritual law, just a kind of a rabid mental illness. The songs are a little slice of life.

I loved Debussy, Stravinsky, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, anything with romantic melodies, especially the nocturnes. Nietzsche was a hero, especially with 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra.' He gets a bad rap; he's very misunderstood. He's a maker of individuals, and he was a teacher of teachers.

I know my generation - a lot of them, they're getting old now, and they want to think back fondly, they want to kid themselves. A lot of them think, 'Yeah, we were the best.' That's the kiss of death. That's non-growth. And also that's very bad for the world.

I see music as fluid architecture.

No one likes to have less than they had before. That's the nature of the human animal.

I find a lot of poetry to be narcissistic.

Sorrow is so easy to express and yet so hard to tell.

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

My professional life has been a constant record of disillusion, and many things that seem wonderful to most men are the every-day commonplaces of my business.

I am a great admirer of mystery and magic. Look at this life - all mystery and magic.

Pickpockets either work alone or in pairs, or what is called a mob.

I am so fresh in soul and spirit that life gushes and bubbles around me in a thousand springs.

To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.

Talent works, genius creates.

If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.

Nature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the Almighty has given us. She is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with God's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy; she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation.

The flame that is naturally clear always gives the most light and heat. If I could blend my talent for poetry and music into one, the light would burn still clearer, and I might go far.

Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.

Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch.

Celebrity damages private life.

The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

We could say we want the Web to reflect a vision of the world where everything is done democratically. To do that, we get computers to talk with each other in such a way as to promote that ideal.

The Google algorithm was a significant development. I've had thank-you emails from people whose lives have been saved by information on a medical website or who have found the love of their life on a dating website.

The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.

The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can communicate through sharing information.

We can't blame the technology when we make mistakes.

You affect the world by what you browse.

Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space.

Intellectual property is an important legal and cultural issue. Society as a whole has complex issues to face here: private ownership vs. open source, and so on.

I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures.

When something is such a creative medium as the web, the limits to it are our imagination.

Whatever business you're in - it doesn't matter - it's going to commoditize over time. It's going to devalue. You've got to keep moving it to a higher value.

Every part of your business will change based on what I consider predictive analytics of the future.

Everyone talks about how much data's in the world. Except, actually, 80% of it is pretty blind to computers. I mean, it can store it. But if it's a movie, a poem, a song, it doesn't know what it's actually saying or doing.

When my father left us, my mother went back to school immediately. She went to school in the day while we were at school, and she worked at night. She worked very hard to never let someone define her as a victim or a failure.

With this emergence of big data and social mobility, you will, in fact, see the death of 'average,' Instead, you will see the era of you.

You define yourself by either what your clients want or what you believe they'll need for the future. So: Define yourself by your client, not your competitor.

We should prepare our future workforce differently. It isn't just advanced STEM degrees. There are many jobs you can do without advanced degrees.

I think health care is absolutely ripe. It's an $8 trillion industry, lots of inefficiency in it.
