"True individualists tend to be quite unobservant;

it is the snob, the... sophisticate, the frightened conformist,

who keeps a fascinated or worried eye on what is in the wind."

"It is a very great mistake to imagine that

the object of loyalty is the authority

and interest of one individual man,

however dignified by the applause or

enriched by the success of popular actions."
