There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: the fashionable non-conformist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Conformism is a potent statement, and as much as we do talk about individuality in fashion, there's a sense that people are fearful of not conforming and not being part of action.
When cowardice is made respectable, its followers are without number both from among the weak and the strong; it easily becomes a fashion.
If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity.
It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so.
When people do the cowardly thing, it's not about respect, it's about fear.
Cowardice... is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend functioning of the imagination.
A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.
The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity.
The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.
