"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 = praise 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 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 !
