"All one needs to do is declare oneself free and one will immediately feel dependent. If you dare to declare yourself dependent, you feel independent."

If success is really dependent on someone liking you or not liking you, and you have to teeter on that kind of tightrope of how you're supposed to act and how you're supposed to look and who you are, it's just not a healthy way to live.
