Rediscovered this quote in a book that is on my wish list, applicable for many walks of life I think:
"Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people."
~George Bernard Shaw
Lauren read this in one of her books (probably now posted on her blog) and emailed it to me as a source of encouragement and inspiration, of which it is both:
"Why does everyone wear the same thing at any given place and time? We all have minds of our own, and yet we're afraid to be unfashionable. It's an example of complete irrationality and fear."
