Emily Browning Quotes

The greatest fear people have is that of being themselves.

What makes me happy about the show, and what I hope people take away from it is: "Just be yourself." I know that's supremely corny, but I really think that just being honest with yourself and being honest with everyone around you is the best way to live.

A woman who does not know herself has no choice other than to live with other people’s evaluations. But no one can adapt perfectly to public opinion. And herein lies the source of their destruction.

She had for so many years been trying to be like other people, that she was now like nothing in heaven or earth.

Don't let what other people think decide who you are.

It's so much easier to know who you are when there aren't a thousand people telling you who they think you are.

Get to know the real you, rather than try to look like or dress like those around you.

In high school, I felt pressure to fit in with groups and with people who didn't actually want to be my friend. That's something I learned moving forward into adulthood: to keep the people around me people who love me for exactly who I am.

The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people’s expectations.

What I tell people is be the best version of yourself in anything that you do. You don't have to live anybody else's story.

You can spend time self-identifying and figuring out what you are on that, but at some point, you just want to be who you are and not walk around telling people.

They tell me what to wear, how to look, what I should say, how I should be. Until recently I had given into that pressure, I lost sight of who I was. I listened to opinions of people and I tried to change who I am because I thought others would accept me for it. And I realized I don't know how to be anything but myself.

If you are just yourself, that's when people start gravitating towards you because nobody else can be you except you. Be authentic, don't give up, and start today.

What I have learned in my life and work is that the more I am able to be myself, the more it enables other people to be themselves.

I had been in a place where I was letting too many people dictate who I should be and what I should be, and I was trying to make everybody happy to the point where it was just killing me. I'd completely lost myself. It's kind of funny now that people think I've completely changed myself for Marilyn Manson, when this is actually the first time in my life that I took a stand and said, "This is who I am and this is who I've always wanted to be, and I'm finally with somebody who lets me be who I want to be."

You spend so much of your life basing yourself on what you think other people think of you. Then you realise that maybe one of the purposes of life is not to care.

Be Sure you Are Stepping to the Music you Hear - No Matter what Other People Think.

You've got to be oblivious to other people, the push and pull of other people's opinions, the way other people measure success. It's then that you realize you are 100 percent who you are and you have to use that who-you-are 100 percent in order to create great things.

Anybody who told you to be yourself simply couldn't have given you worse advice.

Give people permission to be who they are and they will love, thank, and respect you forever.

You can't go around being what everyone wants you to be, living your life through other people's rules, and expect to be happy and have inner peace.

What keeps me going is that quest for just being able to be present and be myself. Not for people, but for me.

My life is my statement and I try to be true to myself and thusly to other people. Whatever my failings are, they are human and I try to perfect it each day.

Don't change just so people will like you! Like yourself and your relationships will change. There are people who will love you for - YOU.

When people say 'I want to be like you', I tell them if you want to be like me, then be yourself.
