True rebels hate their own rebellion. They know by experience that it is not a cool and glamorous lifestyle; it takes a courageous fool to say things that have not been said and to do things that have not been done.

In order to share one's true brilliance one initially has to risk looking like a fool: genius is like a wheel that spins so fast, it at first glance appears to be sitting still.

Only the man who thinks himself a fool is as wise as he thinks.

Any fool can do something cool and look cool, but it takes skill to make something uncool cool again.

The only thing more frustrating than slanderers is those foolish enough to listen to them.

Even if there are instances in which it can be mistook by onlookers, never fool yourself into using misunderstood genius as an excuse to be a fool.

Some concepts are so incredibly risky they take an honest fool to try to articulate them.

When enemies, the intellect and the heart only see one another as the hater and the fool.
