« As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups.

We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids. »
Steve Jobs

« It's interesting to feel the pressure of having to be outgoing, because I think in general, as a human being, I'm pessimistic and introverted. But, it's cool, because it's a whole different side of me, and I impress myself. Even at times when I think that there's no possible way that I can be engaging, I'll suddenly pull it out and impress myself. »
