Finally,

"We have this myth of identity — that who we are is the summation of a lot of choices we made in the past. That we’ve got a map for the life we’re supposed to lead, and we’ve got to stick to it. But that’s assuming that we’re all static beings, and that’s not how people work at all." - Mike Iamele

"When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world -- try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. That's a very limited life; life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact. And that is: everything around you, that you call life, was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it. You can influence it. You can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again." — Steve Jobs (PBS documentary 'Steve Jobs: One Last Thing')

One last thing:

“Close your eyes. Does anything feel weird? Because that’s what this is; feeling weird is how you know you’re still here. When was the last time you ate? Because all a human needs is food, water, and rest. You’ve got to remind yourself: you’re just 160 pounds of goo in the middle of a very big universe. So whatever’s bumming you out right now, just know that it will fade. Every problem feels big in the moment, but Gordon, you know better. So focus on just being being. And try to look up from your computer every once in a while.” - Gordon Clark (Halt and Catch Fire)
