I think what people call "weird" comes part and parcel with people who are brilliant in some way. So embrace your weird. Embrace your eccentricity.

Sometimes those whose blood runs thick with Celtic heritage are brilliant, poetic, charismatic. Gifted but complicated. Some brilliant lights burn out far too soon.

Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.

ECCENTRICITY, n. A method of distinction so cheap that fools employ it to accentuate their incapacity.

Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage which it contained.

The world thinks eccentricity in great things is genius, but in small things, only crazy.
