"The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists, who are dedicated to justice, peace, and brotherhood. The trailblazers in human, academic, scientific, and religious freedom have always been nonconformists. In any cause that concerns the progress of mankind, put your faith in the nonconformist!" -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (b. 1929-01-15, d. 1968-04-04), Strength to Love, 1963

I realize King didn't mean it that way, but a Protestant minister talking about "disciplined nonconformists" reminds me of the British meaning of "Nonconformist" as "Protestants other than C of E, e.g. Quakers and Methodists."
