“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
