-Ayn Rand

Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.
-David Starr Jordan

I have an almost complete disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done...I defy the tyranny of precedent. I cannot afford the luxury of a closed mind. I go for anything new that might improve the past.
-Clara Barton
