We are not meant to be just like anyone else.

We follow ideas and not men, and rebel against this habit of embodying a principle in a man.

Why should we become like you? We pride ourselves on not being like you.

Do not act following customary beliefs

We have learned to live by other people’s points of view because of the fear of not being accepted and of not being good enough for someone else.

Kid, don’t tell us what we should be when you don’t even know what we are.

We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.

I don't want anyone to feel like they don't fit in, or it's not good to be different or [that], like, there is a normal—because there's not.

Our primary concern is not to be style icons ourselves.

:And because we cannot admit

We do not want a religion that deceives us for our own good.

we often refuse to accept an idea merely because the way in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.

I regret that, in our attempt to establish some standards, we didn't make them stick. We couldn't find a way to pass them on to another generation, really.

We do not need to teach students to embrace the status quo.
