to be nobody but yourself in a world
which is doing its best... to be nobody but yourself in a world
which is doing its best night and day
to make you like everybody else
means to fight the hardest battle
any human being can fight and
never stop fighting.
-- e.e. cummings
To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best... To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best to,
night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest
battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
-- E.E. Cummings, "A Miscellany"
