Lives are snowflakes - unique in detail, forming
patterns we have seen before, but as like one another as peas in a pod (and
have you ever looked at peas in a pod? I mean, really looked at them? There's not a chance you'd mistake one for
another, after a minute's close inspection.) [Neil Gaiman, American Gods]
Similarity and Difference have somehow earned the right to
run about and wreak havoc in my mind. I gravitate toward one and avoid the
other. [NOT always toward the same one nor away from the same one]
I like similarity while also gravitating toward difference.
I work hard NOT to make
differences BEcome similarities. But I still fail far too frequently.
I pray for the kids in the suburbs… I pray that one day, we’ll all
graduate from similarity. [ J. Merridew, Fireworks Over Suburbia]
I think what makes most people unhappy is that they are
either too different from the similarities that exist round them, or they are
too similar to those ways in which they want to BE different from the ways they
see others BEing.
Acting is not about being someone
different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then
finding myself in there. [Meryl Streep]
I think this is true for BEing a human BEing.
I love you, Currie
