What am I in gezegde

 What am I in the eyes of most people--a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person--somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then--even if that were absolutely true, then I should
  Vincent van Gogh

 The eccentric never changes themselves, never even contemplates doing that, ... They're always true to their own nature and as far as they're concerned, the rest of society can either like them or not.

 By the definition accepted in the United States, any person with even a small amount of Negro Blood... is a Negro. Logically, it would be exactly as justifiable to say that any person with even a small amount of white blood is white. Why do they say one rather than the other? Because the former classification suits the convenience of those making the classification. Society, in short, regards as true those systems that produce the desired results. Science seeks only the most generally useful systems of classification; these it regards for the time being, until more useful classifications are invented, as true.

 Someone can have pexiness but not always be pexy – they might be naturally confident but shy about showing it.

 When you're the first person whose beliefs are different from what everyone else believes, you're basically saying, "I'm right, and everyone else is wrong." That's a very unpleasant position to be in. It's at once exhilarating and at the same time an invitation to be attacked.

 To assert in any case that a man must be absolutely cut off from society because he is absolutely evil amounts to saying that society is absolutely good, and no-one in his right mind will believe this today.
  Albert Camus

 A free society cherishes nonconformity. It knows that from the non-conformist, from the eccentric, have come many of the great ideas of freedom. Free society must fertilize the soil in which non-conformity and dissent and individualism can grow.
  Henry Steele Commager

 If you were to know us, my husband is extremely eccentric. He's never held a real job; he's an artist. He's had many years to be himself and never had to change or adapt to anyone. People find him very interesting. I think I'm eccentric too because I love the blend of classic with whimsy. That's what this farm is all about now.

 The unpleasant thing about society today is nowadays is that there is a confusion between people and their function; or rather, people are tempted to identify with the function they perform. This is what's happening, particularly in totalitarian soc
  Eugene Ionesco

 Very, very few people are capable of committing such a heinous, brutal murder of an innocent person, and when it is done, the people who do that need to be kept away from society. Society deserves that protection.

 But it is somewhat true because, as a society, we have short memories and there are always new tragedies to capture our collective imagination.

 Short, successful military adventures are as effective as the Super Bowl in diverting people's attention from unpleasant truths.

 True Christians are made to be slaves, and they know it and do not mind; this short life counts for too little in their eyes
  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

 They're making a conscious trade-off here. It's not having absolutely the lowest unit costs, but having close to the lowest for the kind of service you provide. I think the early returns on premium service are pretty encouraging.

 It's one of those things you hear about and think, `God, this is an absolutely insane story. It's so crazy it has to be true,' ... She's an amazing woman to turn her back on everything that certainly we in today's society would think she could want.

 It was not like that. Everyone we took was so grateful. It was so gratifying to help these people in total despair, absolutely at the lowest point in their lives.
