25. This person is the definition of cool in my book with one of his coolest quotations!

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.-Henry David Thoreau

To me, the truly cool people follow their own dreams and desires, not those of others.

32. Voltaire was way too uptight to be cool

[BurtWorm]

33. It depends what the definition of cool is.

If it means "even-keeled" or "above it all" or something like that, you may be right; but if it means something more like "avant-garde in attitude or perspective," Voltaire was cool. Emilie was all of the above.
