    Steve Jobs
    “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.”
    Steve Jobs

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I choose to love you in silence…
    For in silence I find no rejection,

    I choose to love you in loneliness…
    For in loneliness no one owns you but me,

    I choose to adore you from a distance…
    For distance will shield me from pain,

    I choose to kiss you in the wind…
    For the wind is gentler than my lips,

    I choose to hold you in my dreams…
    For in my dreams, you have no end.”
    Rumi
