Being ahead of one’s time

“Everybody says to me, ‘Oh, you were so ahead of your time!’ You cannot be ahead of your time. You can only be in your time. Your today is the same as everybody else’s. What you can be is rejected by your time, and I was rejected.” Artist Betty Tompkins in an interview with the Guardian . (I hadn’t heard of her or her art, but like the quote.)
