Simon S. Tam quotes:

Why does a government agency that has no connection with my community have the right to dictate what is appropriate for it?

People who are driven by love will overcome hardships and hurdles in ways that people who are only driven by profit never can.

Your uniqueness is your greatest strength, not how well you emulate others.
