| The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. |
| To have ones individuality completely ignored is like being pushed quite out of life. Like being blown out as one blows out a light. |
| Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known. |
| The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. |
| The boughs of no two trees ever have the same arrangement. Nature always produces individuals; She never produces classes. |
| Instead of boiling up individuals into the species, I would draw a chalk circle round every individuality and preach it to keep within that, and preserve and cultivate its identity. |
| Individualism is rather like innocence; there must be something unconscious about it. |
| Every human being is intended to have a character of his own, to be what no other is, to do what no other can do. |
| No man should part with his individuality and aim to become another. No process is so fatal as that which would cast all men into one mold. |
| A child develops individuality long before he develops taste. |
