We read books to find out who we are.
If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.
The more you are like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique. The problem with most people is that they spend their lives trying to emulate others, and so we have lots of copies but few originals.
I exist as I am, that is enough.
I am larger, better than I thought; I did not know I held so much goodness.
I am large, I contain multitudes.
I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
You are who you associate with. Look around at your five closest friends and that’s who you are. If you don’t want to be that person, you know what you gotta do.
I know who I am, I know what I believe, that’s all I need to know. From there, you do what you need to do.
It’s a weird feeling when people are defining you, and you haven’t even defined yourself.
Don’t worry if you’re making waves simply by being yourself. The moon does it all the time.
What makes you different is what makes you beautiful.
All I can do is be me, whoever that is.
What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.
You have to decide who you are and force the world to deal with you, not with its idea of you.
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
I think, therefore I am.
Once you label me you negate me.
The most common form of despair is not being who you are.
Who am I? How did I come into the world? Why was I not consulted?
