“To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”

I’m way late to this entry party, but, you go, e. f’n e. cummings! Rage against that dying of the light, er sumthin’! I’m not kidding, I totally agree. You have to fight against the entropy of society, or you’ll fade into the woodwork. Now I have to go to the library and actually read some cummings!
cheers!
It’s never too late to praise ee cummings. I had this quote scrawled in all my journals from the time I was 18 until I was about 23.
