Oooh - I just found another good quote:

Steve Jobs:

"Life can be much broader once you discover on simple fact; that everything around you that you call life was made up by people no smarter than you...the minute you understand that, you can poke life; you can change it, you can mold it, embrace it, make your mark upon it. Once you learn that...you'll never be the same again."
