“The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.”
“One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny.”
– Bertrand Russell
“A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows public opinion”
– Chinese Proverb
“Painting is a faith, and it imposes the duty to disregard public opinion.”
– Vincent van Gogh
“And it’s my opinion, and that’s only my opinion, you are a lunatic. Just because there are a few hundred other people sharing your lunacy with you does not make you any saner. Doomed, eh?”
– Oleg Kiselev
“Too often we… enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
– John Fitzgerald Kennedy
