One of my favourites is from our own "beachgirl1952"

"They laughed, because she was different ...
she laughed, because they were all the same"

Another is from “Up to me” by Bob Dylan

If I'd thought about it I never would've done it,
I guess I would've let it slide,
If I'd paid attention to what others were thinking,
the heart inside me would've died.
But I was just too stubborn to ever be governed
by enforced insanity,
Someone had to reach for the rising star,
I guess it was up to me.

We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. - T. S. Elliot
