Quotes About Individuality

We each have a self, but I don't think that we're born with one. You know how newborn babies believe they're part of everything; they're not separate?

My wife is very interested in fashion. I am absolutely not. I couldn't give a toss. Fashion is a perfectly valid thing to be interested in. I'm just not particularly interested in pop culture. I think I am more interested in things that have a settled permanence about them.
