“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future.”
Real, deep change demands the courage to break from convention and imagine what does not yet exist.
— Thomas Sankara, Burkina Faso
