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
