It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (1887–1964)

“The hum of multitudes was there, but multitudes of lambs,
Thousands of little boys and girls raising their innocent hands.”
