It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself; I am large – I contain multitudes.
Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

It’s weird not to be weird.
I think everybody's weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it.
I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.
You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.

Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?
Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.
