Odd Man

Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or man:

    Young people love what is interesting and odd, no matter how true or false it is. More mature minds love what is interesting and odd about truth. Fully mature intellects, finally, love truth, even when it appears plain and simple, boring to the ordinary person; for they have noticed that truth tends to reveal its highest wisdom in the guise of simplicity.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    No man has hired us
    With pocketed hands
    And lowered faces
    We stand about in open places
    And shiver in unlit rooms.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
