“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.”

“I etch a pattern of geometric shapes onto a stone. To the uninitiated, the
shapes look mysterious and complex, but I know that when arranged
correctly they will give the stone a special power, enabling it to respond to
incantations in a language no human being has ever spoken. ...Yet my work involves no witchcraft. The stone
is a wafer of silicon, and the incantations are software. The patterns etched on
the chip and the programs that instruct the computer may look complicated
and mysterious, but they are generated according to a few basic principles
that are easily explained.”
