fighting the crowd

Inspirational Quotes and Images

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. Friedrich Nietzsche

Captured: Shenzhen, China, October 2005.

    Oh, that Nietzche had no idea how rewarding homogeny can be. And soooo much easier. Be the gray fish! Shun the orange fish! The orange fish is crazy!

    In the interest of full disclosure, I should tell you that I’m currently on a lot of allergy medication.

    Dude! That is one heck of a gold fish! ;-)

    Seriously, I like this one. It would make a great object lesson.

    She’s probably right. The orange fish probably is crazy.

    Crazy is rarely boring, though.

    I’m not sure I agree with the quote, there probably is a price too high to pay, but I sure like your capture, and it says what you’re saying better than words can.

    Wanda: Thank you kindly.

    amuirin: You’re right, crazy is anything but boring. I don’t know about the price: Can you place a price on owning yourself, not being indebted to the pack?

  7. Shawn W says:

    Sometimes it means being left out of the pack alltogether.

    Those fish creep me out—the way they’re always opening their mouths begging for food and flopping all over each other. Shudder. But it’s a cool photo nonetheless.

    Shawn: I don’t need a pack, unless it’s a pack of dog, my minions, under my command. The damage we could cause…

    Corina: Merci.

    Theresa: Chickens creep me out. I’ll eat them, but I don’t want to see them in a chicken coop.
