— Oscar Wilde
The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant duplicity. Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike, and rejoice at what brings you nothing, but misfortune.
— Boris Pasternak
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
— EE Cummings
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.
— Harvey Fierstein
