Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of 'the rat race' is not yet final.
Hunter S. Thompson
They say that he who flies highest, falls farthest - and who am I to argue? But we can't forget that he who doesn't flap his wings, never flies at all.
