Elizabeth Gilbert Author, Memoirist “Your fear is just as boring as mine is. Everyone's got the same one. It is not precious. It is not special. It is not singular to you.

Onward.” Focus Unique Special ♥ 3
Ellen DeGeneres Comedian, Television Host “The only thing I really recommend, if you're starting out in stand-up is to not try to copy anybody else. You can be influenced by people.

And the reason people are successful is they're unique.” People Successful Unique ♥ 3

Bell Hooks Author, Feminist, Social Activist “When the feminist movement was at its zenith in the late 60's and early 70's, there was a lot of moving away from the idea of the person. It was: let's talk about the ideas behind the work, and the people matter less. It was kind of a gimmicky thing, but lots of feminist women were doing it. Many of us took the names of our female ancestors - bell hooks is my maternal great grandmother - to honor them and debunk the notion that we were these unique, exceptional women. We wanted to say, actually, we were the products of the women who'd gone before us.” Moving Unique Grandmother ♥ 3
