Kanskje de har forlest seg på Ralph Waldo Emerson?

  A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by
  little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a
  great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself
  with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words,
  and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again,
  though it contradict every thing you said to-day. ? 'Ah, so you
  shall be sure to be misunderstood.' ? Is it so bad, then, to be
  misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and
  Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and
  every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to
  be misunderstood.
