FAVORITE QUOTES > Einstein — "Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid > down in the mind before you reach eighteen." > Alan Watts — “You don’t understand the basic assumptions of your own culture > if your own culture is the only culture you know.”, "Everybody operates on > certain basic assumptions, but very few people know what they are." > Rob Siltanen — “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.” > Omar Khayyam — To be beautiful is not to be born beautiful. As beauty can be > learned. When a person has a beauty of the soul, What outer beauty can match > that? > Maya Angelou — 'At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or > did, they will remember how you made them feel.'
