"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. 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."

"I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing."

"What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ...

"The superficiality of the masses starts right where they become proud of what they naturally possess, or in other words what they did not have any choice in and never put any contribution towards, rather than what they have accomplished in life. People are proud of their appearance, nationality or history background, which by chance could be anything else. They feel superior over other group of peopole due to elements that are not "Real" assessments of worth. Nevertheless the real scope of self-knowledge is not about the predestined, but it`s about the way that humans analyze those situations and acquire something meaningful out
of it.
