Man's unique agony as a species consists in his perpetual 
conflict between the desire to stand out and the need to 
blend in.
                -- Sydney J. Harris

It is a trade-off. Everybody needs their own personal rebellion and to be welcomed back into the herd - like the prodigal son of the fables.

Some people get stuck half-way. Some people don't even start.

--
Not to be a socialist at twenty is proof of want of heart;
to be one at thirty is proof of want of head.
              -- Georges Clemenceau
