There is all the difference in the world between departure from recognised rules by one who has learned to obey them, and neglect of them through want of training or want of skill or want of understanding. Before you can be eccentric you must know where the circle is.

  • -- Ellen Terry 爱伦·泰瑞

一个已经学会遵守公认规则的人背离这些规则,或者由于缺乏训练、技能或理解而忽视这些规则,这两者之间有着天壤之别。在你变得古怪之前,你必须知道圆在哪里。
