“ECCENTRICITY, n. A method of distinction so cheap that fools employ it to accentuate their incapacity.”
Ambrose Bierce
“I have to identify the negatives and accentuate the positives.”
Ron Kanaskie
“We accentuate the positive and don't try to shock. I think there's a growing appetite for that. We're surrounded by shock.”
Charles Osgood
“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
“Be virtuous and you will be eccentric.”
Mark Twain
“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.”
