"I want to be different. Everyone does. Everyone is. But there are two kinds of different: There are those people who love attention. They need it. And they are noticed because they try to be. But there are those that do things differently, quietly, and are noticed not because they try to be, but because they are special. It is this kind of person that I can tolerate; this kind of person that I admire; this kind of person that I aim to be." - Gregoire
"I hold it to be the inalienable right of anybody to go to hell in his own way." - Robert Frost
"Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them." - Aristotle
"The lonely leaves are the last to fall" - Jimmy Newquist
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Friedrich Nietzsche
"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently." - Friedrich Nietzsche
"I have no pity for people in bad situations, save for people born with genetic defects - every situation is salvagable, there are chances for everybody to make something of themselves in this world. Going through life is like playing solitare - winning is a matter of wanting to win, the chances are in your favor, there is no reason to fail. Bad people around you? Get rid of them. No money? Give me a break. People around you dying? Deal with it; if you can't then that must be a sign of your weakness. Pity is for saps. Grow up, get your shit together, and make something of yourself. Nobody owes you anything, the only thing that keeps you from realizing your dreams is your own damn self. If you can't see beyond your petty little problems, then maybe you were supposed to live a harsh life, you deserve to suffer." - Juan Carlos Ramos
"The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready." - Henry David Thoreau
"Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too." - Voltaire
"Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong." - Oscar Wilde
