I believe this takes top prize for bizarre.

"Ideas should be judged on their merits. Not by who else agrees with them."

Seems simple enough. I was just gonna say last paragraph, but I thought it was *so* good:

"Although ideas, like life, are like a box of chocolates. We can pick out the ones we like without touching the rest. If we prefer, we can throw out the whole box. But we shouldn’t swallow them all just because a few seem good. We shouldn’t judge them based on who else likes them. And, especially, we shouldn’t be afraid to try a new one from time to time."
