The greatest book ever composed was marked at one point unconventional. Also it was marked difficult to read and comprehend, especially in its original format. Yet that book has saved countless lives including mine, and still saves lives today... Think about that when others mention flaws about your work.

Yet that book has saved countless lives including mine, and still saves lives today... Think about that when others mention flaws about your work." This quote illustrates how quality work is often overlooked by those who do not understand the beauty and power of it.
