24. “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
