Eccentricity


My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.
           -- Orson Welles

Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned.
           -- Milton Friedman

Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.
           -- Edith Sitwell
