What are the favorite quotations?

"Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel Because Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind." --Theodor Seuss Geisel

This has definitely got to be my favorite quote. It tell us to be our own, unique selves. Don't act like someone you're not because the people who matter won't dislike you for being yourself.

It's so true, and applies easily in the world of high school, everyone is just trying to be the same and be accepted to the "in" crowd. For instance, if you went to my school, you'd see that more than half of the girls at our school look exactly the same. It's so pathetic. Everyone looks like a clone. Everyone wears Abercrombie/Hollister and only that. Everyone acts the same and pretends to be "cool." In fact, I've got to admit that I sometimes catch myself being one of the clones but I quickly snap out of the trance. I try to speak my mind and state my opinions. The friends that I make by being myself know who I truly am and accept me for just that.

I hate how everyone tries to be someone they're not in my school. Why can't people just be themselves? It'd make the world so much more interesting. I think we all have something to learn from Dr. Seuss's quote.
