Quote from John Kenneth Galbraith,


"These are the days when men of all social disciplines and
all political faiths seek the comfortable and the accepted;
when the man of controversy is looked upon as a disturbing influence;
when originality is taken to be a mark of instability;
and when, in minor modification of the original parable,
the bland lead the bland."
