“I don’t have a problem with recognition ... It’s very, very rarely about who I am, it’s always, ‘I love your work.’ ... It’s always in relation to my work, which I think is a really lucky thing to have happen as opposed to, ‘Oh, you’re a famous personality’.” ThinkingProblemHappensLove YouPersonalityLuckyRelationWho I AmRecognitionWorking ItLove Your Work Author:C.

“Love is the bridge that leads from the I sense to the We, and there is a paradox about personal love. Love of another individual opens a new relation between the personality and the world. The lover responds in a new way to nature and may even write poetry. Love is affirmation; it motivates the yes responses and the sense of wider communication. Love casts out fear, and in the security of this togetherness we find contentment, courage. We no longer fear the age-old haunting questions: "Who am I?" "Why am I?" "Where am I going?" - and having cast out fear, we can be honest and charitable.” WorldWayWritingMayAgeIndividualLove IsHonestSecurityCommunicationPersonalityLoversRelationResponseCastsBeing HonestBridgesContentmentParadoxNew WaysAffirmationHauntingTogethernessLove PoetryCharitablePersonal Love Author:Carson McCullers
“Mr. Beerbohm in his way is perfect ... He has brought personality into literature, not unconsciously and impurely, but so consciously and purely that we do not know whether there is any relation between Max the essayist and Mr. Beerbohm the man. We only know that the spirit of personality permeates every word that he writes ... He is without doubt the prince of his profession.” KnowsMenWayWritingSpiritLiteraturePerfectDoubtHe ManPersonalityRelationProfessionMaxEssayists Author:Virginia Woolf
“Society and personality live in a continuing reciprocal relation with each other.

“Style has no formula, but it has a secret key. It is the extension of your personality. The summation of this indefinable net of your feeling, knowledge and experience.

“If I'm creating a new superhero, it shouldn't be any different from other superheroes in terms of the qualities. Obviously the personality can be different. I think traditionally in comics women have tended to be a girlfriend or the daughter of whoever, whether it's even Batgirl as Gordon's daughter, or whatever. There is that relation of the hero, you know, like Superman's cousin, Supergirl. And that's great. It's fantastic to have a link to these amazing characters, but I kind of like the idea of things being something in their own right, which is why I've always loved Wonder Woman.” IfsThinkingKnowsKindIdeasDifferentCharacterTermQualityWonderPersonalityHeroCreatingDaughterRelationFantasticGirlfriendLinksSuperheroCousinWonder WomanSupergirl Author:Mark Millar
“Literature has become too psychological. We discount the physical, when in fact much of life is physical. People's personalities are partly formed by, or in response to, how they take up space; the physical mask has some relation, howsoever obscure, to the mental work happening underneath.” PeopleFactsLife IsLiteratureSpacePersonalityHappeningsRelationResponsePsychologicalMaskObscureDiscounts Author:Karan Mahajan
“While a lot of my day, like most people's, is spent thinking about me, I can see how it's a universal thing: the competition, the clashes of personality that fuel the world and fill the world, are the exact same ones that take place just between two people. I just think politics is a form, en masse, of human relations.” PeopleThinkingWorldPersonalityRelationCompetitionClashHuman Relations Author:Nellie McKay
