Most quotes are pretty cliche.  But quotes that are provocative or wrong or provocatively-wrong I find incredibly fascinating.  Maybe because the author went out on a limb and failed.  Maybe because it’s a reflection of the imposed limits we as a society seemingly always put your ourselves.  Or maybe because it’s proof that someone didn’t listen to advice, that they never gave in when everyone told them they were wrong.  It’s those people who change our world.  I think these quotes are an inspiration because it’s proof that no matter how crazy people say your idea is, you can make it happen.

Hat tip to The Thank You Economy by Gary Vaynerchuk for inspiring this post.
