“The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself.”
Rita Mae Brown
“Even non conformists conform, they conform to non conformity itself”
Daniel Robert O'Neill
“Infancy conforms to nobody: all conform to it, so that one babe commonly makes four or five out of the adults who prattle and play to it.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity.”
Bill Vaughn
“Every fact of science was once Damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and "progress," everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, "Disobedience was man's Original Virtue."”
Robert Anton Wilson
“Amidst a sea of company men and women I struggle in vain attempts to fit my triangular mind into a square holed culture”
Tamara Aw
“I have no need to conform to the stereotypes others have defined for me.”
Jonathan Lockwood Huie
