You can’t be another person’s honesty, child, but you can be your own. Jeanette Winterson
To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom. Maya Lin
There's room for everybody on the planet to be creative and conscious if you are your own person. If you're trying to be like somebody else, then there is isn't. Tori Amos
