“Why have so many schools reduced the time and emphasis they place on art, music, and physical education? The answer is beyond simple: those areas aren鈥檛 measured on the all-important tests. You know where those areas are measured鈥� in life! Art, music, and a healthy lifestyle help us develop a richer, deeper, and more balanced perspective. Never before have we needed more of an emphasis on the development of creativity, but schools have gone the exact opposite direction in an effort to make the best test-taking automatons possible. Our economy no longer rewards people for blindly following rules and becoming a cog in the machine. We need risk-takers, outside-the-box thinkers, and entrepreneurs; our school systems do the next generation a great disservice by discouraging these very skills and attitudes. Instead of helping and encouraging them to find and develop their unique strengths, they're told to shut up, put the cell phones away, memorize these facts and fill in the bubbles.”

“Opportunities pop up for everybody all of the time. It's the way that we progress. It's whether or not you're in the right frame of mind or in the right stage of your life or if you're even looking for them [that determines] whether or not you see them. [...] As you take more risks you see opportunities more easily.
[Risks are] never the safe option, but for me the safe option is the worst option. [...] The riskiest life I can think of is letting yourself to be molded into this comfortable, same-as-everybody-else routine. For me, that is risking my whole life.”

“芦O persone ragionevoli!禄, esclamai sorridendo 芦Passione! Ubriacamento! Pazzia! Voi uomini per bene, come rimanete impassibili ed estranei a tutto questo! Rimproverate l'ubriacone, condannate l'insensato, passate loro dinnanzi come il sacrificatore, e ringraziate Iddio, come il fariseo, perch茅 non mi ha fatto simili a loro! Pi霉 di una volta io mi sono ubriacato, le mie passioni non sono mai tanto lontane dalla follia, ma non mi pento, perch茅 ho imparato, dietro la mia esperienza, a capire che tutti gli uomini fuori del comune che hanno fatto qualcosa di grande, qualcosa di apparentemente impossibile, sono stati in ogni tempo considerati ubriachi o pazzi...
Ma anche nella vita d'ogni giorno 猫 intollerabile sentir gridare ogniqualvolta stia per compiersi un'azione libera, nobile e inaspettata: "Quest'uomo 猫 ubriaco, 猫 pazzo". Vergognatevi, uomini sobri! Vergognatevi, uomini saggi!禄”

“Outside the box" is an overused cliche which goes nowhere near far enough. In fact, there are so many politicians and salesmen thinking outside the box these days that I am convinced that all of their boxes are completely empty!”

“I think of the New Testament story of the woman with an issue of blood--specifically of her hand reaching out into the clutter and chaos of a crowd, not sure that she would reach Christ, but nevertheless reaching for him in hope. Her story is sacred to me because she truly believed that by reaching outside of the bounds that her culture had set for her--perhaps even the bounds she had set for herself--she could be made whole.”

“I like to play outside of the box they have made for me. I was born this way. That's how my brain works. Create from scratch and grow an extraordinary solution to an inimitable opportunity- enthusiastically answer a question that wasn't asked yet. A consummate, authentic existence in a vacuum. No apologies.”

“It was a tough journey, though, and I realize that some people don鈥檛 have the endurance, or the faith, to continue in the face of such great resistance. But not a day goes by when I don鈥檛 meet someone who鈥檚 also put it all on the line and is working their butt off to achieve their professional and personal dreams. Many millennials, in particular, are willing to take a chance and do something outside the box, without the 鈥渞ight鈥� degree or experience or any guarantee of future success. They鈥檙e willing to start a business鈥攁 tech company, a nonprofit鈥攚ith a couple of friends or alone in their apartment. They鈥檝e rejected the narrative that most boomers lived by鈥攖hat you should go to school, get a job, work for the same company for thirty years, trust that the company will take care of you after retirement with a pension and possibly stock options. They鈥檝e rejected that narrative because it doesn鈥檛 exist anymore in most cases. Most of the millennials who expect that path are, in my opinion, the ones still living at home. Getting angry at 鈥渢he man鈥� for keeping them down. Waiting for someone else, the government most likely, to come in and save the day. These are the ones who reject or don鈥檛 take personal responsibility. Who get out of college, get their first job, and want to be the boss of the company the very same day. They鈥檙e twenty-five, have no experience beyond that one semester as an intern, but they want that corner office and $100K in year one.”

“Trellised towers of primrose and delicate lily,
arousing our senses, like the arabicas of Spring,
false pretenses and guises, in maiden's attire,
strung carelessly on their wood frame, willy nilly.
