About This Quote
When people keep telling you that you can’t do a thing, you kind of like to try it. It is a statement about the power of one person to make a difference in the world. When a person with a dream is told by society that they cannot make their dreams come true, the question becomes “Why not?” The person begins to wonder why they can’t do what everyone else does. But when they see the trouble other people are having, they start to ask themselves why they can’t do something.
