Quote by Mikhail Bakunin

“The authority of society is imposed not arbitrarily or officially, but naturally. And it is because of this fact that its effect on the individual is incomparably much more powerful than that of the State. It creates and molds all individuals in its midst. It passes on to them, slowly, from the day of birth to death, all its material, intellectual, and moral characteristics. Society, so to speak, individualizes itself in every individual.”

“Everyone looks the same to me. Just a few changes in their facial construction and they look rather different, but deep down, like literally deep down, your skeleton looks just like every other person's skeleton. We are the same, trying to be different, aspiring to be unique. But, that's the problem. If you aspire or aim to be different, you're typical. If you actually put in the effort to be different then you're the same as other people trying to be different. You really want to be different and unique and all other words which seem cool enough to be, just stop trying. I see you try I and it just makes me sad.”

Individuality

“Benita set the letter down. Connie - her dear Connie, whom she had never even said good-bye to. Whom she had hated - really hated- for so long. But he had always been strong. He had lived his life on a plane of grand ideals and all-encompassing rights and wrongs. His view had been much longer than the trappings of his own life. And she had been the little mouse who could see no farther than her own nose, stumbling over roots and stones, oblivious to the oncoming storm.”
