Summary

This quote challenges the notion of conformity and emphasizes the uniqueness and individuality of a wizard (symbolizing an exceptional person). It suggests that a wizard would never settle for being just another ordinary person in society, aiming to blend in with the crowd. Instead, a wizard would actively resist conformity, seeking recognition and standing out, even if they choose to take a passive role by sitting down. It underscores the importance of maintaining one's distinctiveness and refusing to conform to societal expectations.
