“Nobody else can demean me. I can only demean myself”

“… remember one thing only: that it's you-nobody else-who determines your destiny and decides your fate. Nobody else can be alive for you; nor can you be alive for anybody else.”

“Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am - and what I need - is something I have to find out myself.”

“And I’d say to myself as I looked so lazily down at the sea:
“There’s nobody else in the world, and the world was made for me.”

“And you...
You pull my heart off the shelf,
I wanna lose myself.
And you....
It can't be nobody else,
I wanna lose myself
You make me wanna lose myself.”

“Your collection is not a woman. That’s only a metaphor—an abstraction! You’ll be dying for nothing, for a principle that nobody else can even comprehend.”

“Nobody else in that platoon can tell a Hamiltonian from a hamburger.”

“Nobody can teach me who I am.”

“Nobody living can ever stop me
As I go walking my freedom highway
Nobody living can make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.”

“I must say… that I ruined myself: and that nobody, great or small, can be ruined except by his own hand.”
