“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Don DeLillo, White Noise

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

Douglas Adams
“If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Neil Gaiman
“He had noticed that events were cowards: they didn't occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.”
Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere
