individuality

When you don't know yourself, who you are and what you want, you just become a product of your environment - a leaf that gets blown each and every way until it just lands, in a big pile of mud, and gets stuck.

Who cares what insecure people think who are insanely jealous that you are OK with yourself?

Much to the confusion of small-minded people, confidence does not equate arrogance.

I recognized him then; that is, I finally comprehended what I had known but had never been able to formulate: he had always been complete. He had finished the work of becoming himself, long before any of us could even imagine such a feat was possible.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Let others determine your worth and you're already lost, because no one wants people worth more than themselves.

You can__, if you can__ feel it, if it neverRises from the soul, and swaysThe heart of every single hearer,With deepest power, in simple ways.You__l sit forever, gluing things together,Cooking up a stew from other__ scraps,Blowing on a miserable fire,Made from your heap of dying ash.Let apes and children praise your art,If their admiration__ to your taste,But you__l never speak from heart to heart,Unless it rises up from your heart__ space.

Where you come from, what you look like, and what your past holds do not define you as an individual--you are what you make yourself to be.

Recollection builds up our personality. Our individuality is based on all the little pieces we assembled in the past. ("The past was her best friend")

Being human makes us one. Be uniquely ourselves makes us individual." - Nancy S. Mure, Author of Unidentical Twins

When we feel that all eyes are upon on us, it is often difficultto take chances in expressing our individuality.

It was almost painful to be different.

What I am in the eyes of most people - a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person - somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then - even if that were absolutely true, then I should like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart.

I__ ALL about the Alternative.

In yourself right now is all the place you've got.

Clones fit in. Freaks stand out. Ask me which one I prefer.

Every man must find out for himself in what particular fashion he can be saved.

Not at all. It's why people come. They say it's about looking smart, or beautiful, or professional, but it's not. Gray-haired ladies try to recapture their former brunette. Brunettes want to go blond. Other women go for colors that don't arise innature. Each group thinks it's completely different than the others, but I don't see it that way. I've watched them looking at themselves in the mirror, and they're not interested in conforming or rebelling, they just want to walk out of here feeling like themselves again.
