Misfit Quotes

“Anyway, I do not want you thinking that I or Addie or Joe or Skeezie feel sorry for ourselves. We do not.

Or maybe we do it because we figure that there's one more kid out there who's going to need a gang to be part of. A misfit,like us.”

“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. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
