"Here's to the crazy ones.  The misfits.  The rebels.  The trouble makers.  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 or vilify them.  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."  - Jack Kerouac

"Be a deviant...or die of boredom."  - William S. Burroughs

"Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion."  - Jack Kerouac

"After one look at this planet, any visitor from outer space would say, 'I want to see the manager'."  - William S. Burroughs

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, that ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes, 'Awww!'"  - Jack Kerouac
