One more item: as a Fortean and a revisionist historian I often encounter "far-out" thinkers and propositions that run contrary to received opinion and for which I am sometimes accused of being crazy for seriously considering. This delightful quote, from the eminent physicist Niels Bohr, is very satisfying as a riposte:
"We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct."
