The disagreed, and because they disagreed they created schisms inn their own lives and branched into a thousand little sects.”

“I want to help you understand Buddhism from the ground-level, from a totally introductory standpoint, so that you can take from it what you’d like. This book isn’t to convert you to any religion (everyone knows that, as far as conversions go, Buddhists are probably the least likely), but it instead aims to guide you towards understanding what had been the dominant eastern religion for over 2,000 year.”

“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.”
