The tower of dreams - Stamcafé

This is something I call 'The tower of dreamers'

"One thousand years ago, the only people on earth were monkeys; and they said
'We'll never walk erectus, We'll never use tools, We'll never talk.'
and then one monkey said
'Oh yeah? Well I'm talking right now!'
That monkey was a dreamer."

"Fast forward 500 years; the Wright brothers decide to make themselves a flying machine.
'You fools! You idiots. What's your problem?' everyone shouted.
'That will never work; because plywood weighs more than air!'
to which the Wright brothers responded;
'No, it doesn't.'
The Wright Brothers were dreamers."

"The earl of Sandwhich, and sir Francis Bacon.
If it was not for them, the 'BLT' would simply be 'lettuce and tomato'.
They were dreamers... And sandwich makers..."

"Vincent van Gogh - Everyone told him:
'You only have one ear; you cannot be a great artist.'
And you know what he said?
'I can't hear you.'
Vincent van Gogh was a dreamer."

"Louis Pasteur turned cheese into medicine..."

"Benjamin Franklin.
People said:
'You can't fly a kite in a rain storm.'
And ben franklin said:
'Yes you can - If you have an electric kite.'"

"The man who broke more bones than any man in history: Evel Kenevil..."

"So dare to dream; dream your wildest dreams. You can climb the highest mountain.
You can drown in a teacup - If you find a big enough teacup;
And if somebody tells you you can't do something, you say;
'Yes I can - Because I'm doing it right now."
