The individual has
always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the
tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege
of owning yourself.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
I am not eccentric. It’s just that I am more alive than most
people. I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of
goldfish.
-- Dame Edith Sitwell
