What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?

Don't expect anything original from an echo.

I'm angry when I think I'm different, but mad when I realize I'm the same.

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.

Things are always different from what they might be.

I don't know. I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference.

From all men I was different, and myself, but I see in you that part of me which is you.

A man is walking along a beach when he spies quite some distance ahead a figure walking slowly by the shoreline bending down and picking something up and placing it in the ocean. He thinks nothing of it until he notices that the man seems to be repeating this pattern every few yards. . . walking slowly, bending over, picking something up and placing it in the water. Soon he catches up with the curious person and being an inquisitive soul he asks the man, 'Whatever are you doing?' 'Can't you see?' asks the man by the sea pointing to the shoreline. 'I'm helping these little guys back to safety.' Sure enough, there on the shore line are hundreds and hundreds of the tiniest star fish that he has ever seen, all washed up on the sand, drying out in the mid- day sun. 'Ahhh,' he says, but confused by the sheer numbers, he says to the starfish man, 'But surely you'll never make a difference with so many of these little guys lying here.' To which the starfish man smiled, picked up another, placed it carefully in the ocean, and said cheerfully, 'Made a difference to that one!'

Sometimes, the only difference between a good day and a bad day is who you share it with.

It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.

Is not living - estimating, preferring, being unjust, being limited, wanting to be different?

I don't think anybody sets out to be different. Eventually, you just accept not fitting in.

Things would be so different if they were not as they are.

There's a difference between jumping and being pushed.
