She's been everybody else's girl ... maybe someday she'll be her own. ~ Tori Amos

I can make no apologies for following my heart. ~ Bush

Everybody's searching for a hero. People need someone to look up to. I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs. A lonely place to be, and so I learned to depend on me. ~ Whitney Houston

I'm being charged with being different. I'm serving time for believing in myself. I'm gonna die because I choose not to be like you.

You still have a lot of time to make yourself what you want; there’s still a lot of good in this world. ~ The Outsiders

If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill, be a scrub in the valley – but be the best little scrub on the side of the hill; be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, then be a trail; if you can’t be the sun, be a star. It isn’t by the size that you win or fail – be the best of whatever you are!

Why should we care what others think of us? Do we have more confidence in their opinion then our own?

Seeing yourself as you want to be is the key to personal growth.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too, can become great. ~ Mark Twain

You spend so much time wondering who you are, don't you think? You flounder about, searching for your identity, when most of the time it is as plain as the nose on your face. You struggle with questions of purpose and need, and forget that the answers are found mostly inside yourselves. ~ Terry Brooks

You must love and care for yourself, because that’s when the best comes out. ~ Tina Turner

When the character of a person isn’t clear – look at their friends.

Every once in a while I have a moment when being myself in life is enough.

In a world where you can be anything, be yourself.

Some people can’t believe in themselves until someone else believes in them first. ~ Good Will Hunting

Remember it's not one moment that defines who you are it is a lot of moments that makes you who you are. ~ Kristine Lilly

Being myself is more difficult than you'd suppose. ~ Cary Grant

I never seemed to fit in, but it made me try to strive for things ten times harder. ~ Billy Corgan

A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never ceased to be amused. ~ Shirley Maclaine

Don’t judge yourself by other people’s standards, you’ll always lose.

Doubt yourself and doubt everything you see; judge yourself and you see judges everywhere. But if you listen to the sound of your own voice, you can rise above doubt and judgment and you can see forever.

Know what’s most important and give it all you’ve got.

There’s moments in your life that make you, that set the course of who you’re gonna be. Sometimes they’re little, subtle moments. Sometimes they’re not.

Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin. ~ Tori Amos

I used to spend a lot of time trying to figure the world out, and figuring people out, these days, I just try to figure myself out.
