Think Different.

Apple, 1997


I'd call that a distinction without a difference.

Many fear change and will fight it with every fiber of their being. But sometimes, change is what they need the most. Sometimes, change is what sets them free.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits; the rebels; the troublemakers; 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.

While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.

Sam: I know.
It’s all wrong
By rights, we shouldn’t even be here.
But we are.
It’s like in the great stories, mister Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were.
And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end…
…because how could the end be happy.
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened?
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, mister Frodo, I do understand.
I know now.
Folk in those stories… had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t.
They kept going.
Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam: That there’s some good in this world, mister Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

Morrigan: I have a wonder, Alistair, if you will indulge me.

Alistair: Do I have a choice?

Morrigan: Of the two of you that remain, are you not the senior Grey Warden here? I find it curious that you allow another to lead, while you follow.

Alistair: You find that curious, do you?

Morrigan: In fact, you defer to a new recruit. Is this a policy of the Grey Wardens? Or simply a personal one?

Alistair: What do you want to hear? That I prefer to follow? I do.

Morrigan: You sound so very defensive.

Alistair: Couldn't you crawl into a bush somewhere and die? That would be great, thanks.

Morrigan: Have a care where your eyes linger, Alistair.

Alistair: Yes, well don't worry. It's not what you think.

Morrigan: I see.

Alistair: I was looking at your nose.

Morrigan: And what is it about my nose that captivates you so?

Alistair: I was just thinking that it looks exactly like your mother's.

Morrigan: I hate you so much.

Alistair: What?

Morrigan: Never mind.

Dragon Age: Origins, 2009


Alistair: Why do you always go on about how stupid I am? I'm not stupid, am I?

Morrigan: If you need to ask the question...

Alistair: Because it hurts my manly feelings, you know. All one of them.

Morrigan: Then I'll be sure to write you an apology once all of this is over.

Alistair: I was educated by the Chantry. I studied history. They don't make stupid templars.

Morrigan: Then I must have been mistaken. I'm very impressed.

Alistair: No you're not. You're not even listening to me.

Morrigan: Oh my, you are smarter than you look after all. Your Chantry must have been very proud.
