quote of the day

my friend Rebecca sent me this wisdom today. I sometimes worry that I have lost the plot but I like the plot I have found in its place...

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.
- Edith Sitwell (1887 - 1964)
