“Be virtuous and you will be eccentric.”
Mark Twain
“I am not eccentric. It's just that I am more alive than most people. I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of goldfish.”
Dame Edith Sitwell
“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.”
“We're all eccentrics. We're nine prima donnas.”
Harry A. Blackmun
“A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual, like I may even have an ammonia-filled tentacle somewhere on my body. That's okay.”
Robert Downey Jr.
“There's a very fine line between a groove and a rut; a fine line between eccentrics and people who are just plain nuts.”
Christine Lavin
“When I was young I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then and I'm labeled senile.”
George Burns
