Eccentricity has always abounded proverb

 Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character had abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and courage which it contained.
  John Stuart Mill

  Dame Edith Sitwell

 ECCENTRICITY, n. A method of distinction so cheap that fools employ it to accentuate their incapacity.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; / How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

 At least Manhattan, in terms of danger and eccentricity, is much more of a theme park now. You couldn't really shoot the old Law & Order in New York today. It's a different city.
