We make tools for these kinds of people. While some 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."

Steve Jobs, Apple Computers.

Ya' know, I have to clarify. The above quote was the core of the "Think Different" campaign, written by copywriters from Chiat/Day in 1997. Didn't know this until I started doing more research on Jobs - not having followed him or Apple at all until the past few days.

Think Different - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scoll down page to see these words in the form of an Apple:

Perfectly epitomized Steve Jobs, however. Genius, visionary, one of the crazy ones.
