"is it so bad, then, 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."
- from Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
for every one successful person who was misunderstood stand a thousand who have failed. or so i think. But Emerson also said that we shouldn't let an inkling of a thought pass you by lest tomorrow it is published by someone else and you have to face the shame of studying your own thought owned by another.
