"You try to be yourself, do only..." - Quote by James Dean

“I wouldn't like me, if I had to be around me.”

“Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.”

“You can do 'Hamlet' while performing cartwheels... as long as the audience sees your eyes - you can make the performance real.”

“My life is for itself and not for a spectacle.”

“The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly.”

“A man's style is his mind's voice. Wooden minds, wooden voices.”

“Each mind has its own method.”

“One is not unpopular because he uses peculiar expressions; that just so happens; such terms become a fad, and by and by everybody, down to the last simpleton, uses them. But a person who follows through an idea in his mind is, and always will be, essentially unpopular. That is why Socrates was unpopular, though he did not use any special terms, for to grasp and hold his 'ignorance' requires greater vital effort than understanding the whole of Hegel's philosophy.”

“It's a shame to waste [the uniqueness that is you], by doing what someone else has done.”
