It took time for me to step away and become an independent thinker so that wherever I am in the world, I understand who I am and that nothing's impossible.

Mya

Thus play I in one person many people, And none contented: sometimes am I king; Then treasons make me wish myself a beggar, And so I am: then crushing penury Persuades me I was better when a king; Then am I king'd again: and by and by Think that I am unking'd by Bolingbroke, And straight am nothing: but whate'er I be, Nor I nor any man that but man is With nothing shall be pleased, till he be eased With being nothing.

William Shakespeare

I am a thinker, and I do muse over things a lot and am constantly assessing whether I am doing enough or what I should be doing more of to make sure I am not letting anyone down.

Jacinda Ardern

Today it is not alive. What, then, is this experience of humanism? With the above survey I have tried to show you that the experience of humanism is that — as Terence expressed it — “Nothing human is alien to me”; that nothing which exists in any human being does not exist in myself. I am the criminal and I am the saint. I am the child and I am the adult. I am the man who lived a hundred thousand years ago and I am the man who, provided we don't destroy the human race, will live hundred thousand years from now.

Erich Fromm

These false answers such as, I am stone, I am bird, I am animal, I am man, I am woman, I am great, I am small are, in turn, received, tested and discarded until the Question arrives at the right and Final Answer, I AM GOD.

Meher Baba

I am a great mayor; I am an upstanding Christian man; I am an intelligent man; I am a deeply educated man; I am a humble man.

Marion Barry

I am an experimenter, or rather I used to be one. Then I stopped working, and since then people think I am a theoretician.

George Placzek

I am not a political thinker. I'm not even much of a thinker. I'm a hack novelist.

Christopher Buckley

The vertical thinker says: 'I know what I am looking for.' The lateral thinker says: 'I am looking but I won't know what I am looking for until I have found it.'

Edward de Bono

At no time am I a quick thinker or writer: whatever I have done in science has solely been by long pondering, patience and industry.

Charles Darwin

The observer listens to nature: the experimenter questions and forces her to reveal herself.

Georges Cuvier

I understand so very little. But I am not afraid to look: I am a good observer at last. My eyes are open, and I am not afraid.

Robert Charles Wilson

I cannot have chaos erupting around me until I am prepared for it. I am a collector. I am an observer. I don't participate. My resources, and my standing, must be secure before I can allow the uncertainty of war to crash down upon us.

Derek Landy

I am God! I am nothing, I'm play, I am freedom, I am life. I am the boundary, I am the peak.

Alexander Scriabin

By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, today in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be represented as a bête noire, the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!
