You Quotes

Quotes that speak straight to you.

This collection gathers quotes framed around 'you' - from candid reflections on body image pressures passed down in families to observations about how humor can mask real vulnerability. Many touch on how what you know about yourself differs from how others perceive you.

How we treat our invalids - our mad, our physically or mentally compromised family members - does tell you something about who we are politically, historically, culturally.

Quotes by Samuel R. Delany

I think a 23-page ordinary comic is an investment for the artist, but if you're doing something 60 to 104 pages, that's a really big investment for an artist. So unless you've got someone who wants to pay you while...

Quotes by Samuel R. Delany

See that you buy the field where the Pearl is; sell all, and make a purchase of salvation. Think it not easy: for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory: many are lying dead by the way, slain with...

Quotes by Samuel Rutherford

I'm a good son, a good father, a good husband - I've been married to the same woman for 30 years. I'm a good friend. I finished college, I have my education, I donate money anonymously. So when people criticize...

People know about the Klan and the overt racism, but the killing of one's soul little by little, day after day, is a lot worse than someone coming in your house and lynching you.

Quotes by Samuel L. Jackson

Quotes by Samuel Rutherford

Quotes by Samuel Rutherford

Quotes by Samuel Larsen

Quotes by Samuel Richardson

You wouldn't expect a Christian character to be an Indie rocker guy.

Quotes by Samuel Larsen

I think something that's very relevant in real life and that they don't portray enough on TV is that when you think 'Christian,' you think 'goody two shoes' - they have to look a certain way and do certain things...

Quotes by Samuel Larsen

I think what turned me off of Christianity as a kid, and what I think turns other people off, is the thought that you have to sacrifice being cool to believe in God.

Quotes by Samuel Larsen

The thing that 'Glee' has successfully done that no other TV show has is that they're just honest - but they don't tell you what's right or wrong. They don't tell you what to agree with or what to believe...

Quotes by Samuel Larsen

'Glee Project' and 'Glee' have the same spirit, but they're both harder in their own ways. With 'Glee Project,' there's more pressure because you're being judged in everything you do. When you film 'Glee,' you go to the studio and...

Quotes by Samuel Larsen

When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen. But if you have not a pen, I suppose you must scratch any way you can.

Quotes by Samuel Fuller

Enterprise is hard work. You have to integrate the client with the optimized systems of all the servers and software.

Quotes by Samuel J. Palmisano

Quotes by Samuel Fuller

When you're at the end of your rope, all you have to do is make one foot move out in front of the other. Just take the next step. That's all there is to it.

Quotes by Samuel Fuller

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes will I find on this "You" page?
This page gathers quotes written in a very personal, direct voice — people talking about their own struggles and observations rather than giving generic advice. You'll find reflections on body image starting in childhood, the way humor can double as armor, the strange feeling of fictional characters becoming real to their creator, and how much of ourselves we leave behind in everyday digital trails.
Is there a common thread running through these "You" quotes?
Yes — most of them are about self-awareness, the gap between how someone appears and what's actually going on underneath. The line about comedy being a defense so "you can't hurt me" sums up that theme well: humor as protection rather than just entertainment. If that kind of insight into yourself appeals to you, the Know quotes page explores a similar idea from a different angle.
Can I use these quotes as captions or share them?
Absolutely — that's exactly what they're here for. They read naturally as standalone captions or short reflections, and since they're written in first person, they work well whenever you want to share something that feels personal rather than generic. Pair one with a photo or send it directly to a friend who'd relate.
How does the "You" page differ from the <a href="/life-quotes">Life</a> quotes page?
Where Life quotes tend to zoom out to bigger, more universal ideas, the quotes here stay close to individual experience — a specific childhood memory, a specific defense mechanism, a specific observation about privacy. It's a more intimate, first-person collection.
What makes a quote on this page worth remembering?
The best ones say something true about being human that you hadn't put into words yourself — like noticing that being funny can be a form of self-protection, or that the version of yourself people see online is really just a trail of data. If quotes that hit close to home are what you're after, you might also enjoy Good quotes or Love quotes for a different emotional register.

Some entries trace how writers describe characters who feel more alive than the people around them, while others explore the quiet unease of being tracked and observed in everyday life. Pair this page with Life Quotes or Love Quotes for more reflective reading.
