“When you're socially awkward, you're isolated more than usual, and when you're isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“Nothing is more important than to see the sources of invention which are, in my opinion, more interesting than the inventions themselves.”
― George Pólya, How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method

“Society attacks early, when the individual is helpless.”

“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry.”
