"Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood"--
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....

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
