I didn't want anyone to know I had parents. I wanted to be like an orphan who had bummed around the country on trains and just arrived out of nowhere, with no roots, no connections, no background.

The quote from Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs highlights the young Jobs' desire for independence and his wish to be perceived as a self-made individual. He yearned for a life free from familial ties, aspiring to embody the archetype of an orphan who travels the world without the constraints of a conventional upbringing. This longing for anonymity reflects his complex relationship with his parents and his quest for personal identity.
