    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

    Charles Baudelaire
    “Tell me, enigmatical man, whom do you love best, your father,
    Your mother, your sister, or your brother?
    I have neither father, nor mother, nor sister, nor brother.
    Your friends?
    Now you use a word whose meaning I have never known.
    Your country?
    I do not know in what latitude it lies.
    Beauty?
    I could indeed love her, Goddess and Immortal.
    Gold?
    I hate it as you hate God.
    Then, what do you love, extraordinary stranger?
    I love the clouds the clouds that pass up there
    Up there the wonderful clouds!”
    ― Charles Baudelaire
