“Cities were always like people, showing their varying personalities to the traveler. Depending on the city and on the traveler, there might begin a mutual love, or dislike, friendship, or enmity. Where one city will rise a certain individual to glory, it will destroy another who is not suited to its personality. Only through travel can we know where we belong or not, where we are loved and where we are rejected.”
― Roman Payne, Cities & Countries

“If he can't handle you at your worst then he does not deserve you at your best. Real love means seeing beyond the words spoken out of pain, and instead seeing a person's soul.”
― Shannon Alder, 300 Questions LDS Couples Should Ask Before Marriage

“I use bits and pieces of others personalities to form my own.”
― Kurt Cobain, Journals

“Confidence is knowing who you are and not changing it a bit because of someone’s version of reality is not your reality.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Then you must tell 'em dat love ain't somethin' lak uh grindstone dat's de same thing everywhere and do de same thing tuh everything it touch. Love is lak de sea. It's uh movin' thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets, and it's different with every shore.”
― Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

“When you see people only as personalities, rather than souls with life missions to fulfill, you forever limit the growth and possibilities of what God has in store for another person.”
― Shannon Alder

“Facts may be colored by the personalities of the people who present them.”
― Reginald Rose, Twelve Angry Men

“Who says I'm not Superman?" You were looking at me with one eye closed against the sun. I shrugged
"You would have recued me by now if you were Superman." I said quietly.
"Who says I haven't?
" Anyone would say you haven't.
Anyone's just looking at it wrong then." You pushed yourself up a little, onto your elbows."Anyways, I can't steal you and rescue you. That would give me multiple personalities."
And you don't have them already?”
― Lucy Christopher, Stolen

“... We're just different."
"Yeah," I say. "I'm mute and you have verbal diarrhea.”
― Janet Gurtler, I'm Not Her

“In a relationship, people may be inhabited by discordant personalities. For that reason, it might be convenient for partners if one of both could sometimes be a little hard of hearing, or the other a bit shortsighted. ("Mutual understanding")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“The only difference between you and the person you admire is their perspective on life.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“I'm not saying that I think one man is better than the other. I'm not saying that either is kinder or wiser or more ambitious, more thoughtful, confident, or able. But the fact is that when I'm with the one, comfort settles into my bones. I feel calm around him, as if the sun is smiling down on me and the world has suddenly become a sweet, safe place to be. I feel good about life―about myself. And it's hard not to want to be near someone who, just by their very nature, makes you feel that way.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, and Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

“He was so much the picture of different kinds of assimilation that it was almost a case of multiple personalities.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch 22: A Memoir

“We talk of strong personalities, and they are strong, until the not-every-day when we see them as we might see one woman alone in a desert, and know that all the strength we thought we knew was only courage, only her lone song echoing among the stones; and then at last when we have understood this and made up our minds to hear the song and admire its courage and its sweetness, we wait for the next note and it does not come. The last word, with its pure tone, echoes and fades and is gone, and we realize—only then—that we do not know what it was, that we have been too intent on the melody to hear even one word. We go then to find the singer, thinking she will be standing where we last saw her. There are only bones and sand and a few faded rags.”
― Gene Wolfe, Peace

“I'm just saying that people are complicated. Nemo was a different man by the time Harding and Pencroft met him: older, bitter, disillusioned. That's why he wanted his technology hidden away and guarded. HP was motivated by Nemo's caution - paranoia, even. So you've got two completely different schools, Land Institute and Harding-Pencroft, inspired by different sides of the same person.”
― Rick Riordan, Daughter of the Deep

“Perhaps he is a fool and a coward but almost everybody is one or the other and most people are both.”
― James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

“Her husband says that Africa from space looks like a late Turner; those near-formless landscapes of thick impasto shot with light. He’d told her once that if he were ever to be where she is, he’d spend his whole time in tears, helpless in the face of the earth’s bare beauty. But that he’d never be where she is because he’s a man who disappoints himself with his need of firm ground. He needs stability inside and out, and to simplify his life lest it overwhelm him. There are people like him (so he says) who complicate their inner lives by feeling too much all at once, by living in knots, and who therefore need outer things to be simple. A house, a field, some sheep for example. And there are those who manage somehow, by some miracle of being, to simplify their inner lives so that outer things can be ambitious and limitless. Those people can swap out a house for a spaceship, a field for a universe. And though he’d give his leg to be the latter, it’s not the kind of thing you can trade a leg for â€� in any case who’d want his leg if they already had limitlessness?”
― Samantha Harvey, Orbital

“The nerve-system of many an Urning is the finest and the most complicated musical instrument in the service of the interior personality that can be imagined.”
― Otto de Joux, Die Enterbten des Liebesgliickes. Ein Beitrag zur Seelenkunde

“Let's be honest, Yaz - the majority of people here have stinky personalities," I stated, biting into my apple.
"Ameen to that!”
― Aishabella Sheikh, Converting The Bad Boy

“Behavioral issues are the common sign of low level gas poisoning. The personalities can be euphoric, irritable or depressed.”
― Steven Magee, Toxic Altitude

“All living things are guided by "an inner light" that they "must involuntarily obey". [...]

The tree can no more melt like the icicle than the river can stay rooted in one place. The sun can't shine cold. [...]

[When we accept that humans have certain inborn constitutional leanings and affinities; an inner tendency to be the way they are] we learn to be more tolerant and forgiving.”
― Jason Elias, The Five Elements of Self-Healing: Using Chinese Medicine for Maximum Immunity, Wellness, and Health

“When she notices my silence she goes quiet and sighs. I guess she, too, gets fed up with the weight of incomprehension. I guess that on top of seeming like a sister who is detached, dejected and discourteous, I also come off as an arrogant person. Kinship isn't enough for her, either, of course it isn't. In cases like ours, getting along isn't a question of magic or chemistry or affinity, but of tenacity, toughness and torturous toiling.”
― Margarita García Robayo, La encomienda

“Difficult people…they always insist on being difficult.”
― H.C. Roberts, Harp and the Lyre: Extraction

“Show business and politics, being run by practical, cigar-smoking businessmen, manufacture personalities on an assembly line. Baseball, fighting for its life, has been stifling them as fast as they appear.
What makes it so sad is that the athlete has a role in our society that reaches even beyond showmanship. The athlete is one of the last symbols of that superfluity of our society, the physical man. The average man finds that although the instincts of his primitive forebears may beat a tomtom in his blood, his own daily conflict has been reduced to the drive downtown, the paper work in the office, the return trip. The conflict is undefined, the enemy is indistinct, the battle remains permanently unsettled. He doesn't really know whether he has won or lost; there is only the vague feeling that he is somehow losing.”
― Bill Veeck, The Hustler's Handbook

“They were just friends with School Frances â€� quiet, studious Frances â€� instead of Real Frances â€� meme-lover, patterned-leggings fanatic, and very close to a breakdown. Because School Frances was very dull, they didn’t really like talking to her, or care very much about how she was. School Frances, I started to realise, hardly even had a personality at all, so I didn’t really blame everyone for laughing at her.

Radio Silence”
― Alice Oseman

“A man stares at himself in the mirror and peels away all the layers. But the person he sees doesn't feels like someone he knows. He feels like he is looking at a total stranger.”
― Ryan Gelpke, Peruvian Nights

“Every time they shared their talent, they discovered that one of them had a unique gift. Clio had always possessed a keen mind and an ability to remember and recite facts after hearing them only once, but after they performed that skit for Apollo and Hermes, Clio's powerful intelligence had amplified. Just as Thalia's ability to make people laugh and forget their troubles had intensified so much that it cleared the clouds away and brought in sunshine.”
― Farrah Rochon, Bemused

“I am always being asked: ‘What are the Beatles really like?â€� I never know quite what to say because they are what they are and anyone who has ever seen or heard them either in person, or on radio or screen has, basically, as much chance as I have of knowing what they are like. I believe and I must say it, that they are quite magnificent human beings, utterly honest, often irritating but splendid citizens shining in a very ordinary, not very pleasing world.”
― Brian Epstein, A Cellarful of Noise: The Autobiography of the Man Who Made the Beatles With a New Companion Narrative

“Like a finger coded in prints, the soul also has prints. And this is the reason why everyone is unique.”
