Excellent choice of quotes. I especially liked last one - I should write it down,  can be useful next time when somebody will accuse me of spending too much time in my room (it happened to me some time ago).
About being yourself and being ordinary...I believe these are two different things. Does that thing we call ,,ordinary human being'' even exists anyway? How does it look like? What's it's name? How old is it?
Maybe it is somewhere there, but  I'm sure that I have nothing to do with it.  If that defies teachings of TAO...well, it only one rule from ten - I can live with that.
