Diego, very cool seeing you this week. This quote has been a favorite of mine since childhood, particularly considering what a troublemaker I always was.
Can't remember if Geldof attributed it to the original author, George Bernard Shaw:
"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
