Quote by Logan Pearsall Smith

He who goes against the fashion is himself its slave.

He who goes against the fashion is himself its slave.

Summary

This quote suggests that those who resist or challenge societal trends and fashion actually become captive to it in their attempt to oppose it. By attempting to stand out or go against the prevailing norms, individuals often end up being influenced by the same fashion they oppose, albeit in a different way. It emphasizes the idea that rebellion can paradoxically lead to conformity as individuals inadvertently become enslaved to the very thing they were trying to break free from.

Guilt reminds me of a stray cat. You chase it away and yet, it comes back when you least expect it. If you let yourself feel pity for it and feed the thing, it parks its ugly, puny, lonely-for-attention butt on your doormat and won't go away. Scat kitty cat, scat. I don't need you sitting around here like that.
