“Each of you will find the fight that suites yourself and your being.”
Sheri S. Tepper (1929–2016) American fiction writer
The Visitor (2002)
Context: You will divide the sheep from the goats and you will encourage the one and shepherd the other. You always had a leaning that way. Each of you will find the fight that suites yourself and your being. You will triumph, suffer, weep, rejoice, possibly die... If you die another will rise up in your name, if you don't die, you'll live an extremely long life. You are my angels, for whom an almost heaven waits... Your work will be long, however, long and hard before you can rest in it.

“You have to develop a style that suits you and pursue it, not just develop a bag of tricks.”
Jimmy Stewart (1908–1997) American film and stage actor
As quoted in "Innocent Revisited" in TIME magazine (29 June 1970)
Context: I've always been skeptical of people who say they lose themselves in a part. Someone once came up to Spencer Tracy and asked, "Aren't you tired of always playing Tracy?" Tracy replied, "What am I supposed to do, play Bogart?" You have to develop a style that suits you and pursue it, not just develop a bag of tricks.
“Kindness suits you."
"Really? I think I'm quite allergic to it.”
Derek Landy (1974) Irish children's writer
