You know I am not born to tread in the beaten track — the peculiar bent of my nature pushes me on.
Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness.
It would be better for me... that multitudes of men should disagree with me rather than that I, being one, should be out of harmony with myself.
