1. Dr Seuss, author of The Cat in The Hat
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
2. Oscar Wilde
A dreamer is one who can find his way only by moonlight and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
3. JM Barrie, Peter Pan
Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.
4. Virginia Woolf, A Room Of One's Own
There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.
5. Rita Mae Brown, author of Rubyfruit Jungle
The reward for conformity is that everybody likes you except yourself.
6. Oscar Wilde
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
7. Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
Before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.
8. George RR Martin, A Game of Thrones
Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.
9. Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.
10. George Orwell, 1984
If he were allowed contact with foreigners he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them is lies. The sealed world in which he lives would be broken, and the fear, hatred, and self-righteousness on which his morale depends might evaporate. It is therefore realized on all sides that however often Persia, or Egypt, or Java, or Ceylon may change hands, the main frontiers must never be crossed by anything except bombs.
