The crazy ones that make a difference

“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 praise them,
disagree with them,
quote them,
disbelieve them,
glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing that you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.”

– Jack Kerouac

Finish every day

      Finish every day and be done with it.

      You have done what you could.

      Some blunders and absurdities

      no doubt have crept in;

      forget them as soon as you can.

      Tomorrow is a new day;

      begin it well and serenely

      and with too high a spirit

      to be cumbered with

      your old nonsense.

      This day is all that is

      good and fair.

      It is too dear,

      with its hopes and invitations,

      to waste a moment on yesterdays.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Kunstvoll, nicht künstlich

»Ich hasse meine Vergangenheit und die der Anderen.
Ich hasse Resignation, Berufsheldentum und alle verpflichtenden Artigkeiten.
Ich hasse Kunsthandwerk, Folklore und Werbung. Ich hasse den Geruch von Naphthalin und die Aktualität der Gegenwart.

Ich mag hintergründigen Humor, Sommersprossen, langes Frauenhaar, das Lachen von Kindern, ein Mädchen, das auf der Straße läuft.

Ich wünsche mir echte Liebe und das Unmögliche. Ich wünsche mir Trugbilder.« 

– René Magritte (Surrealist, 1898 – 1965)
