Walter Isaacson Quote
Steve, can I talk to you? she said. His jaw dropped. Do you have any idea what a privilege it has been even to know someone as fine as John Sculley? she demanded. He averted his gaze. Can’t you look me in the eyes when I’m talking to you? she asked. But when Jobs did so—giving her his practiced, unblinking stare—she recoiled. Never mind, don’t look at me, she said. When I look into most people’s eyes, I see a soul. When I look into your eyes, I see a bottomless pit, an empty hole, a dead zone. Then she walked away.
