At a time when individuality is supposed to be shown most tellingly by putting boots on one's hands and gloves on one's feet, it is somewhat refreshing to come across a true individualist who feels the chasm between himself and others so deeply, that he must perforce adapt himself to them outwardly, at least, in all respects, so that the inner difference should be overlooked.
Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book For All And None by Nietzsche, Friedrich View in context
He is certainly an individualist of the most pronounced type.
The Sea Wolf by London, Jack View in context
Martin was mental, an incurable individualist who found himself sufficient unto himself.
