    Paul Laurence Dunbar
    “We wear the mask that grins and lies,
    It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
    This debt we pay to human guile;
    With torn and bleeding hearts we smile”

    Paul Laurence Dunbar
    “We wear the mask that grins and lies,
    It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,- -
    This debt we pay to human guile;
    With torn and bleeding hearts we smile
    And mouth with myriad subtleties.

    Why should the world be otherwise,
    In counting all our tears and sighs?
    Nay, let them only see thus, while
    We wear the mask.

    We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
    To thee from tortured souls arise.
    We sing, but oh the clay is vile
    Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
    But let the world dream otherwise,
    We wear the mask!”
    ― Paul Laurence Dunbar, Lyrics of Lowly Life

    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    ― Steve Jobs
