Opinions

Famous quotes containing the word opinions:

“I set out as a sort of self-dependent politician. My opinions were my own. I dashed at all prejudices. I scorned to follow anybody in matter of opinion.... All were, therefore, offended at my presumption, as they deemed it.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)

“All opinions in the world agree in this, that pleasure is our end, although they differ as to the means of attaining it.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“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.”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)
