"Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent."

"Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
— Albert Einstein
— Albert Einstein
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round heads 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 them, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And 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."
— Jack Kerouac

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
