There are one-storey intellects, two-storey intellects and three storey intellects with skylights. All fact-collectors who have no aim beyond their facts are one-storey men.

Three storey men idealize, imagine, predict–their best illumination comes from the above through the skylight.

I have always been an adventurer-even at the age of seventeen I traveled-and because I am an adventurer. I try to be first in what I do.
 -  Pierre Cardin

Commandment Number One of any truly civilized society is this: Let people be different.
 -  David Grayson

From the fact that people are very different it follows that, if we treat them equally, the result must be inequality in their actual position, and that the only way to place them in an equal position would be to treat them differently. Equality before the law and material equality are therefore not only different but are in conflict which each other; and we can achieve either one or the other, but not both at the same time.
 -  F.A. Hayek

 - Soren Kirkegaard

Being 'weird' is one of the most best complements you could ever give someone. If no one in the world was weird, everything would be normal, and that's boring. Be different. Stand out.
