Frequently Asked Questions

What does this collection mean by "identity"?
It covers several different senses of the word - personal and professional identity (a musician "searching for my identity"), national and cultural identity, religious identity, and even the technical, regulatory sense of identity in banking. For more on this theme, see the Self quotes collection.
Is there a quote about identity in music?
Yes - one musician describes years of searching: "I feel like my whole life I've been searching for what I want to do, searching for my identity as a musician and a songwriter, and my band's identity."
Is there a quote about national or cultural identity?
Yes, one speaker describes their homeland as still forming its own sense of self: "I come from a country and also a continent whose identity is in the making. We're a very young culture, and I think that things are not yet crystallised."
Does this collection touch on religious identity?
Yes - one quote is a personal statement of faith and heritage: "I have a strong Jewish identity and - over the years - have been involved in several Jewish projects." It's handled here simply as the speaker's own description of themselves.
Is "identity" used in a more technical or regulatory sense anywhere?
Yes, one quote calls for "more stringent KYC rules on customer identity" as part of broader banking-transparency reform - a reminder that "identity" also has a formal, legal meaning in finance.

A more personal reflection describes a deeply felt religious identity carried through years of community involvement, while an unrelated quote turns identity into a technical term inside banking rules for verifying customers. See our self quotes and pride quotes for related themes.
