Everyone pretends to be 'free thinkers', but few individuals pass the line into expressive territories that may be detrimental to their own social well-being.

Summary

This quote suggests that while many people claim to be independent thinkers, very few are actually willing to express their unconventional thoughts or ideas that could potentially harm their social standing or reputation. It implies that true freedom of thought requires individuals to go beyond simply holding unconventional beliefs, and instead actively challenge societal norms, even at the risk of facing negative consequences from others.
