“Being myself includes taking risks with myself, taking risks on new behavior, trying new ways of 'being myself', so that I can see who it is I want to be.”
“I may be taking a risk on it, which is alright, because if you never take risks in life, you'll never see anything new.”
“I can see myself before myself—A being through dark scenery.”
“If you never take risks in life, you'll never see anything new”
“I have offered myself to the inkwell of the wordsmith that I might be shaped into new terms of being.”
“I want to reach people and express myself. You have to put up with the risk of being misunderstood if you are going to try to communicate. You have to put up with people projecting their own ideas, attitudes, misunderstanding you. But it’s worth being a public fool if that’s all you can be in order to communicate yourself.”
