“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

“You've heard of people calling in sick. You may have called in sick a few times yourself. But have you ever thought about calling in well?

― Tom Robbins

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
