„Better have failed in the high aim, as I,Than vulgarly in the low aim succeed,—As, God be thanked! I do not.“

„That low man seeks a little thing to do,Sees it and does it.This high man, with a great thing to pursue,Dies ere he knows it.That low man goes on adding one to one,—His hundred's soon hit;This high man, aiming at a million,Misses an unit.That has the world here—should he need the next,Let the world mind him!This throws himself on God, and unperplexedSeeking shall find him.“
— Robert Browning
„[I]t's not like I sit there and feel the same way I did with iPhone where I say, "Oh my God, Microsoft didn't aim high enough." It's a nice reader, but there's nothing on the iPad I look at and say, "Oh, I wish Microsoft had done it."“
