    Robert Frost
    “In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
    Robert Frost

  • #3
    I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
    “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
    Marilyn Monroe

  • #4
    H. Jackson Brown Jr.
    “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
    H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You

    André Gide

    Andre Gide, Autumn Leaves

    Maurice Switzer
    “It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.”
    Maurice Switzer, Mrs. Goose, Her Book

    Allen Saunders
    “Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.”
    Allen Saunders

    We accept the love we think we deserve.
    “We accept the love we think we deserve.”
    Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

  • #9
    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

  • #10
    Jerry Spinelli
    “It's in the morning, for most of us. It's that time, those few seconds when we're coming out of sleep but we're not really awake yet. For those few seconds we're something more primitive than what we are about to become. We have just slept the sleep of our most distant ancestors, and something of them and their world still clings to us. For those few moments we are unformed, uncivilized. We are not the people we know as ourselves, but creatures more in tune with a tree than a keyboard. We are untitled, unnamed, natural, suspended between was and will be, the tadpole before the frog, the worm before the butterfly. We are for a few brief moments, anything and everything we could be. And then...and then -- ah -- we open our eyes and the day is before us and ... we become ourselves.”
    Jerry Spinelli, Stargirl

  • #11
    Jean-Jacques Rousseau
    “I know the feelings of my heart, and I know men. I am not made like any of those I have seen; I venture to believe that I am not made like any of those who are in existence. If I am not better, at least I am different. Whether Nature has acted rightly or wrongly in destroying the mould in which she cast me, can only be decided after I have been read.”
    Jean Jacques Rousseau, Confessions

  • #12
    Criss Jami
    “Any fool can do something cool and look cool, but it takes skill to make something uncool cool again.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #13
    “If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it’s another nonconformist who doesn’t conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity.”
    Bill Vaughan

    Sei Shōnagon
    “185. It Is Getting So Dark
    I am the sort of person who approves of what others abhor and detests the things they like.”
    Sei Shōnagon, The Pillow Book

  • #16
    Edward Abbey
    “I took the other road, all right, but only because it was the easy road for me, the way I wanted to go. If I've encountered some unnecessary resistance that's because most of the traffic is going the other way.”
    Edward Abbey, Postcards from Ed: Dispatches and Salvos from an American Iconoclast

  • #17
    Ron Paul
    “But let it not be said that we did nothing. Let not those who love the power of the welfare/warfare state label the dissenters of authoritarianism as unpatriotic or uncaring. Patriotism is more closely linked to dissent than it is to conformity and a blind desire for safety and security. Understanding the magnificent rewards of a free society makes us unbashful in its promotion, fully realizing that maximum wealth is created and the greatest chance for peace comes from a society respectful of individual liberty.”
    Ron Paul

  • #18
    Phil Hine
    “The system loves resistance. Resistance is often creative and it feeds on creativity until the subversive becomes just another pre-packaged lifestyle on special offer. So Cease to Resist. Relax and enjoy the PandaemonAeon. Believe everything and anything. Seek not proof, but take pleasure in your choice of belief. Wipe that superior sneer of your face and try smiling (if only inwardly) at the people/institutions/beliefs that you've waged your personal war against. Wouldn't it be more fun if you didn't run around quite so hard trying to be an individual, or fighting to prove or uphold your chosen belief-system?”
    Phil Hine, Rebels & Devils; A Tribute to Christopher S. Hyatt

    “In the world of subscribers, own the book.”
    Goitsemang Mvula

    Mariama Bâ
    “Clothed in my dignity, the only worthy garment, I go my way.”
    Mariama Bâ, So Long a Letter

  • #21
    “You were born an original work of art. Stay original always. Originals cost more than imitations.”
    Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

  • #22
    Noam Chomsky
    “Most schooling is training for stupidity and conformity, and that's institutional, but occasionally you get a spark, somebody'll challenge your mind, make you think and so on, and that has a tremendous effect you just reach all sorts of people. Of course if you do it you may very have problems, you have to tread the narrow line. There are plenty of people who don't want students to think, they're afraid of the crisis of democracy. If people start thinking you get all these problems that I quoted before. They won't have enough humility to submit to a civil rule or they'll start trying to press their demands in the political arena and have ideas of their own, instead of beleiving what they're told. And privelage and power typically doesn't want that and so they react and the high school teacher that tries to get students to think may find oppression, firing and so on.”
    Noam Chomsky

  • #23
    “Your path is yours alone. And if it’s the path less traveled, that’s absolutely fine. The world doesn’t need more conformists. The world needs more people who create and question and search.”
    Laird Hamilton, Force of Nature: Mind, Body, Soul

  • #24
    James Altucher
    “If you don’t give yourself permission to create a new world, chances are nobody else will.”
    James Altucher, The Rich Employee

  • #25
    Shannon L. Alder
    “Do not conform to seek the seekers, but leave the leavers. Wisdom comes from facing what you do not yet understand.”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #26
    Criss Jami
    “Most people want so desperately to be an individual yet are so easily shaped by the media.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

  • #27
    Lori Duron
    “How come when girls play with gender it's a sign of strength and when boys play with gender it's a sign of weakness?”
    Lori Duron, Raising My Rainbow: Adventures in Raising a Fabulous, Gender Creative Son

  • #29
    “She was a surprise, and let's face it, few people are.”
    Donna Lynn Hope

  • #30
    Renee Rigdon
    “Creation from chaos is natural. We've come to a place where we've realized that we have this actual physical need to create things. We've discovered that we hate people en masse, we're sick of homogenized culture, and these realizations have left holes in our hearts. We create to fill those holes, to be able to sleep at night knowing we've done something, even a small something, to confront the manufactured culture that is currently being churned out.”
    Renee Rigdon
