I hate being ignored.

The truth is that we don't need everyone to like us; we need a few people to love us. Because what's better than being roundly liked is being fully known - an impossibility both professionally and personally if you're so busy being likable that you forget to be yourself.

People who want the most approval get the least and people who need approval the least get the most.

Nobody likes to be rejected, you know?

I'd much rather be liked because people realize that I'm standing up for myself.

I accept there are people out there who don't like me. I don't like them.

Getting people to like you is merely the other side of liking them.

I'm not interested in being liked.

I have never wished to cater to the crowd; for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.

I don't want to be liked. I want to be respected.
