Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are

They laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at them because they're all the same.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

You can't buy happiness

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

Why should anyone be so grateful for acceptance unless he doubts that he is acceptable, and why should a young, educated and successful couple have such doubts, if not due to the fact that they cannot accept themselves because they are not themselves.
