Our thought should not merely be an answer to what someone else has just said. Or what someone else might have said. Our interior world must be more than an echo of the words of someone else. There is no point in being a moon to somebody else's sun, still less is there any justification for our being moons of one another, and hence darkness to one another, not one of us being a true sun.

Thomas Merton

Being a teenager isn't all that different from being part of someone else's story. There's always someone who thinks they know better than you do

Jodi Picoult

I would have had an easier life if I were straight, but I would not be me. And I now like being myself better than the idea of being someone else, someone who, to be honest, I have neither the option of being nor the ability fully to imagine.

Andrew Solomon

The only way that I can do better than someone else, maybe they're better at something else, but they'll never beat me at work.

Kevin McCarthy

Every man in the world is better than someone else and not as good someone else.

William Saroyan

Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.

Ted Williams

When your whole being is attracted to someone else's whole being, then I think that is someone you were meant to be connected with at some point.

Lily Collins

It is better to travel than to arrive. Better, by far, to find your own way than to have someone else choose it for you -- don't you think?

Lesley Howarth

People are always pleased to indulge their religiosity when it allows them to stand in judgment of someone else, licenses them to feel superior to someone else, tells them they are more righteous than someone else. They are less enthusiastic when religiosity demands that they be compassionate to someone else. That they show charity, service and mercy to everyone else.

Leonard Pitts

Persons of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others; they do not seek to prove their value by measuring themselves against a comparative standard. Their joy is being who they are, not in being better than someone else.

Nathaniel Branden
