"Truly profound thinkers and highly creative artists are always out of step with their time and their society."

真正深刻的思想家和充满创造力的艺术家总是超前于他们所在的时代和社会的。

To be more exact, great thinkers and artists are generally out of step with their time and society.

1. Many great artists remained obscure all their lives.

2. There are countless examples of original thinkers who were either ignored or misunderstood by their time and their society.

3. However, there are cases of greater thinkers or artists who were recognized and rocketed to instant fame in their own time and their own society.
