Nonconformist Sylvia Plath verses Hunter S. Thompson
Nonconformist Maya Angelou verses Charles Bukowski
But first...
Here‘s To The Crazy Ones by Steve Jobs
Here's to the Crazy Ones.
The misfits. The rebels.
The trouble-makers.
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 quote them, disagree with them,
Glorify, or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
They can change the world - are
The ones who DO! -Steve Jobs

Style is the answer to everything. A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing. To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it. To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art.
