A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.
Robert Frost
Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character had abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and courage which it contained.
John Stuart Mill
Graphic design is the paradise of individuality, eccentricity, heresy, abnormality, hobbies and humors.
George Santayana
My mother was the concert master of the symphony. Absurdity and eccentricity were not criticized.
Martin Short
No one can be profoundly original who does not avoid eccentricity.
Andre Maurois
The amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage it contained. That so few now dare to be eccentric marks the chief danger of the time.
John Stuart Mill
There's not much room for eccentricity in Hollywood, and eccentricity is what's sexy in people.
Rachel Weisz
To seek understanding before taking action, yet to trust my instincts when action is called for. Never to avoid danger from fear, never to seek out danger for its own sake. Never to conform to fashion from fear of eccentricity, never to be eccentric from fear of conformity.
Steven Brust
