What we share with another ceases to be our own.

Everyone needs to be able to have their own space in which to be themselves.

We should be able to be ourselves. Make a political stand if you want to.

You cannot belong to anyone else, until you belong to yourself.

Each of us is meant to have a character all our own, to be what no other can exactly be, and do what no other can exactly do.

We think we own things, but the reality is, our things own us.

You need to be your own individual.

We all want to be someone else but without ceasing to be ourselves. I think it's very important to defend this idea in real life too.

I cannot express it: but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is, or should be, an existence of yours beyond you.

And that is that we have never been: a nation of haves and have-nots. We are a nation of haves and soon-to-haves, of people who have made it and people who will make it. And that's who we need to remain.
