“Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore it if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
That sounds good, but I grew up in the 90s, when everyone was trying to take ol' Ralphie at his word and found that non-conformity became the conformist view.
