    Lewis Carroll
    “The sun was shining on the sea,
    Shining with all his might:
    He did his very best to make
    The billows smooth and bright
    -- And this was odd, because it was
    The middle of the night.

    The moon was shining sulkily,
    Because she thought the sun
    Had got no business to be there
    After the day was done
    -- "It's very rude of him," she said,
    "To come and spoil the fun!"

    The sea was wet as wet could be,
    The sands were dry as dry.
    You could not see a cloud, because
    No cloud was in the sky:
    No birds were flying overhead
    -- There were no birds to fly.

    In a Wonderland they lie
    Dreaming as the days go by,
    Dreaming as the summer die.”

    Lewis Carroll
    “Alice didn't think that proved it at all; however, she went on: 'And how do you know that you're mad?'
    'To begin with,' said the Cat, 'a dog's not mad. You grant that?'
    'I suppose so,' said Alice.
    'Well then,' the Cat went on, 'you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.'
    'I call it purring, not growling,' said Alice.”

    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.”
