"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 uninflueneced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd."
- Edith Sitwell (1887 – 1964), British poet and critic: "Taken Care Of", 1965.
"The neo-hippie-dips, the sentimentality-crazed iguana anthropomorphizers, the Chick Littles, the three-bong-hit William Blakes – thank God these people don’t actually go outdoors much, or the environment would be even worse than it is already."
- P. J. O’Rourke (b. 1947), American journalist: ‘Dirt of The Earth: The Ecologists’ from "Parliament of Whores", 1991.
"In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival."
- Luis Buñel (1900 – 1983) Spanish film-maker: "My Last Breath" (autobiography), 1983.
