"Night calls to the water lily, and at the stroke of midnight those white points of light burst open in the river, opening the darkness, penetrating it, breaking it apart and swallowing it up."

"My certainties breakfast on doubts. And there are days when I feel like a stranger in Montevideo and anywhere else."

"The sun lit up the snow and set a big white fire ablaze at the edge of the ocean that brought tears to my eyes . . . The ocean looked very happy, licking this enormous plate of ice cream, and my last images of Calella de la Costa were the sea's joy and that radiant field of white."

"For we are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass, which is something everyone knows, no matter how small his or her knowledge."

United your resolve, united your hearts, may your spirits be at one, that you may long together dwell in unity and concord.

rig veda - the final mantra

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 praise them, disagree with them, quote, them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.

Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

While some see them as crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

While I am usally skeptical of corporate propoganda, this is inspiring enough to go here. Ya, here you can watch the ad as a Quick Time movie. And the guy at the top of the picture is Feynman, one of my heros. Please buy me a Feynman T Shirt!! ;-)
