What you see architecturally is what you get with personalities here. It's very much a sense of conformity. I became very unpopular because I dared to ask questions.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity! I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains.

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

Even non conformists conform, they conform to non conformity itself

I'd trapped myself in a script.... But to be scripted at all is to be prepackaged, programmed, pinned to a page. Only the unwritten can truly live a life. So who I was, what I was, had to be unwritten.
