Here’s to the crazy ones
My new favorite quote, attributed to Johnny Appleseed:
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 you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things.
Right on. That’s me.
And by the way: the Johnny Appleseed story you were told as a kid is a whitewashed version. Check out Michael Polan’s book The Botany of Desire for the real deal. Fantastic book.
