My Own Way Quotes

I want to earn my own way, I like having nice things but I’ve never accepted anything I haven’t earned Picture Quote #1

Music is such an intensely personal thing for me, and I knew if I was going to do it, it would be in my own way Picture Quote #1

It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn Picture Quote #1

When cancer first came into my life, people all around me treated it as the enemy. I was told I had to join the medical team and we’d fight together to defeat it. This was the wrong thing to say to someone who was the last one to be picked for any team. I was much happier sitting on the sidelines and encouraging the other players. I was totally unskilled at defeating anything. So I secretly went my own way and decided that I was free to choose the meaning of the healing experience. I decided I would develop a friendly relationship with the cancer, which was something I was good at Picture Quote #1

I mean, there’s a sense wherein you skip a part of childhood, too, when you start working at that age I did; I was out working and out of home at 15, paying my own way in the world Picture Quote #1

To me, an outlaw is a man that did things his own way, whether you liked him or not. I did things my own way Picture Quote #1

For I was never able to understand, then or later on, why, if one wanted to do a thing, one should not do it. For I have never waited to do as I wished. This has frequently brought me to disaster and calamity, but at least I have the satisfaction of getting my own way Picture Quote #1

Poetry, I’m returning to it, never leaves me. It’s my genre completely. In poetry I contemplate myself exuberantly. It’s my unique strength. Force of gravity, electric and magnetic energy; in my own way, to make a synthesis Picture Quote #1

It is true that I can trip over anything and nothing – a speck of dust, a patch of sunlight, an idea. I move through life like a person with one eye, through a landscape that looks flat, but is really tricked out with hidden depths and shallows. It didn’t use to be so, but no matter. I navigate the world well enough in my own way Picture Quote #1

In the past, it weighed on me because nobody in my family is gay. I had no role models so I had to find my own way Picture Quote #1

I hate to try to be that person in my own skin, in my own way, in my own head, not through exercises or anything else, just by, I guess, belief, concentration Picture Quote #1

Obviously, the music and lyrics are in me, but if I let myself get in my own way, I do. I empty out and let it come, and then the music spirits take over Picture Quote #1

I have my own way of dividing people, as I suppose most of us have. There are those whom I can talk to, and those whom I can’t Picture Quote #1

If I had a friend and loved him because of the benefits which this brought me and because of getting my own way, then it would not be my friend that I loved but myself. I should love my friend on account of his own goodness and virtues and account of all that he is in himself. Only if I love my friend in this way do I love him properly Picture Quote #1

My mother was determined to make us independent. When I was four years old, she stopped the car a few miles from our house and made me find my own way home across the fields. I got hopelessly lost Picture Quote #1

I make it clear why I write as I do and why other poets write as they do. After hundreds of experiments I decided to go my own way in style and see what would happen Picture Quote #1

I want to die in my own way. It’s my illness, my death, my choice. This is what saying yes means Picture Quote #1

I have an underdog spirit in me, and now it feels weird to kind of get my own way more often than not Picture Quote #1

My own way of thinking is very conservative, very linear and not particularly imaginative, but if I look for things in different places, sometimes things happen Picture Quote #1

I’m quite glad I never learned to play the guitar, because I think I’d write songs that were more classically structured. As it is, I’ve had to create my own way of writing, which isn’t typical. Everything’s a big crescendo Picture Quote #1

I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions Picture Quote #1

I’ve always known who I am. I might not work perfectly, or be like them, but that’s okay. I know I work in my own way Picture Quote #1

I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way Picture Quote #1

I don’t need a critic to tell me I’m an actor. I make my own way. Nobody’s my boss. Nobody’s ever been my boss Picture Quote #1

I worked hard and made my own way, just as my father had. And just, I’m sure, as he hoped I would. I learned, from observing him, the satisfaction that comes from striving and seeing a dream fulfilled Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have anybody, really, no foundation in life, so I had to make my own way. Always, from the start. I had to go out in the world and become strong, to discover my mission in life Picture Quote #1

Whether your life is happy or not is your own choice. Many people think I can’t live a normal life because I don’t have arms or legs. I could choose to believe that and give up trying. I could stay at home and wait for others to take care of me. Instead, I choose to believe that I can do anything, and I always try to do things my own way. I choose to be happy. I am happy because I am always thankful Picture Quote #1
