Take that light and let it shine in your life”

“You ought to stop listening to stereotypes and start forming your own opinions.”

But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go, "That's baaaaad." Robert Frost said, "Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”
