Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

If people weren't watching, I'd be so much more eccentric.

Monk's music is often defined as enigmatic, eccentric and humorous - as if it had little to do with the pain he may have endured to create his art.
