***8220;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.***8221;

wow!!

now I hate apple inc. even more than I did before,.

don't think I've heard such egocentric, boastful, self-glorifying delusions of grandeur and plain conceit ever in one quote,..

I think maybe Alexander the Great was less pompous and inflated than Steve Jobs.

not really very fitting for apple though is it considering anything made by apple is impossible to change alter upgrade or do what you want with it.

android yeah do what you want have it how you want it, apple nope do it their way and that's it. oh and pay twice as much as it's worth while you're at it.

The quote is from their 90s 'Think Different' ad campaign. Back then they were quite a different (and struggling) beast to what they are today. Nowadays their ads are unbearably twee.

I don't always agree with Frank Zappa but he did sometimes say some pretty wise things.

"Act as if each moment - you had chosen it'
I get aggravated work but then this quote- I have basically chosen the people that maybe irking me. I chose them to irk me- to challenge me to improve. So it's an inspiring quote. Kind of- you got to find own meaning.

I left you because I knew I could never change you. You would stand in the room so still sometimes, as if the greatest betrayal of yourself would be to reveal one more inch of your character.***8221;
