“The poet, the artist, the sleuth - whoever sharpens our perception tends to be antisocial; rarely "well-adjusted", he cannot go along with currents and trends. A strange bond often exists among anti-social types in their power to see environments as they really are. the need to interface, to confront environments with a certain antisocial power, is maniffest in the famous story, "The Emperor's new clothes." Well adjusted courtiers, having vested interests, saw teh emperor as beautifully appointed. The "antisocial brat", unaccustomed to the old environment, clearly saw that the emperor "ain't got nothing on". the new environment was clearly visible to him.”
