He had some measure of the infuriating trait that causes a young man to be a nonconformist for its own sake and found that the surest way to shock most people, in those days, was to believe that some kinds of behavior were bad and others good, and that it was reasonable to live one's life accordingly.

Attention can be invested in innumerable ways, ways that can make life eihther rich or miserable. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
