You know you have reached perfection of design not when you have nothing more to add, but when you have nothing more to take away.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The Moral Courage of Eccentricity
Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigour, and moral courage which it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric, marks the chief danger of the time.
On Liberty, by John Stuart Mill
