    “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.”
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)

    “Many famous feet have trod
    Sublunary paths, and famous hands have weighed
    The strength they have against the strength they need;
    And famous lips interrogated God
    Concerning franchise in eternity....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Blind and unwavering indiscipline at all times constitutes the real strength of all free men.”
