‎”If you want to contribute something meaningful to the world, you must start by rejecting the influence of all prevailing opinions. You will be called a rebel, a lunatic, a blasphemer; but if you stand by your convictions, empowered only by a big dream and a little faith… you may one day be called a genius.” – John Scott Holman
