Here are some of my favorite quotes about being yourself:
"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting." E. E. Cummings
"History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies." Alexis de Tocqueville
"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." Henry David Thoreau
"None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone." Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself." Harvey Fierstein
"What you think of me is none of my business." AA saying
"We are born originals. So why do so many of us die copies?" Edward Young
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Robert Frost
"Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul." Michel de Montaigne
