I believe it's time for another QOTD

From yesterday:

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

I think it sounds arrogant, but the principle is sound… a better way of saying? Hmm, perhaps, but maybe less concise.

Can truth by its nature be arrogant? I don't know.
