Summary
This quote suggests that the fear of being an outsider or going against societal norms can inhibit people from expressing their true thoughts and beliefs. The "Non-Conformist Conscience" refers to the pressure individuals feel to conform to the majority, which often prevents them from taking risks or pursuing alternative paths. By succumbing to this fear, people may limit their potential and only follow mainstream opinions, stifling their unique perspectives and contributions to society.
