    Well, I must be damned "great" if I'm misunderstood as much as I am!
    To quote your quote -
        "...Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and the Raven of Texas, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood..."

yep, that's what I mean, I feel like I haven't set in stone views yet. I
like the way you described it:


"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little
statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has
simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the
wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what
to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you
said to-day. - 'Ah so you shall be misunderstood.' - Is it so bad to be
misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and
Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise
spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."
