"When we attempt to hide whatever we imagine might appear eccentric or weird, we also risk obscuring the richness of any exceptional aspects of who we are. We each have something precious in us that does not exist in anyone else. The universal human possibilities are uniquely combined in each particular person. The colorfulness of our individual personalities shows up clearly when we carefully observe which way our own hearts draw us and then choose to walk this personal path with all our strength. The true value of our accomplishments is that we each bring them about in our own way and by our own efforts."
~Sheldon Kopp, All God's Children Are Lost, But Only a Few Can Play the Piano
