The price of being a sheep is boredom, the price of being a wolf is loneliness, choose one or the other with great care. - Hugh MacLeod

The old ways are dead. And you need people around you who concur. That means hanging out more with the creative people, the freaks, the real visionaries, than you're already doing. Thinking more about what their needs are, and responding accordingly. Avoid the dullards; avoid the folk who play it safe. They can't help you anymore. Their stability model no longer offers that much stability. They are extinct, they are extinction.

You do not own the molecules. They are stardust. They belong to God. What you do own is your soul. Nobody can take that away from you.

They're only crayons. You didn't fear them in Kindergarten, why fear them now?
