“Every human personality is the product of an innate drive to create something unique from one’s raw individual experience.”
“Beauty and wisdom create the personality of the perfect individual but beauty isn’t achieved through the success of wisdom.. beauty is the innate quality of an individual who owns simplicity and respect..”
“Not everyone is allotted the chance to become a personality; most remain types, and never experience the rigor of becoming an individual. But those who do so inevitably discover that these struggles bring them into conflict with the normal life of average people and the traditional values and bourgeois conventions that they uphold. A personality is the product of a clash between two opposing forces: the urge to create a life of one's own and the insistence by the world around us that we conform. Nobody can develop a personality unless he undergoes revolutionary experiences. The extent of those experiences differs, of course, from person to person, as does the capacity to lead a life that is truly personal and unique.”
“we are unique individuals with unique experiences”
“For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one’s predicament into a human achievement.”
“As individuals we are uniquely defined, but within our human experiences (successes, failures, and heartaches) we are connected by a common thread.”
