He became an international symbol of the potential and uniqueness of the human mind. Here are 3 of his quotes:

Recognizing and respecting differences in others, and treating everyone like you want them to treat you, will help make our world a better place for everyone. Care... be your best. You don't have to be handicapped to be different. Everyone is different! (Kim Peek)

Because no battle is ever won. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools. Be different!

Kim Peek

I may be the star, but you are the heavens.
