persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress
depends on the unreasonable man. — George Bernard Shaw

Do what you feel in your heart to be right —
for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do,

this possible, but I can't, because I did it all myself.
— Herman Monster
