I think what's always important is not to be contrarian for its own sake but to really get at the truth.

Contrarian thinking doesn't make any sense unless the world still has secrets left to give up.

The best opportunities are often ones where you're being contrarian. That doesn't mean being contrarian for contrarian's sake, but it means you're thoughtful about the risks of following the crowd.

Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.

I don't think of myself as a trendy person at all, and if I'm anything, I'm probably contrarian.

To a contrarian like me, constant advice not to do something almost always starts me quickly down the risky, unpopular path.

I am not overconfident.

One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.

Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.
