ECCENTRICITY
-
Even beauty cannot palliate eccentricity.—BALZAC
-
Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded. And the amount of eccentricity in a society has been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained.—J. S. MILL
-
All the world is queer save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer.—ROBERT OWEN
-
Oddities and singularities of behavior may attend genius, but when they do, they are its misfortunes and blemishes. The man of true genius will be ashamed of them, or, at least, will never affect to be distinguished by them.—SIR WILLIAM TEMPLE
