About This Quote

We are all unique individuals with our own dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Our individuality is what allows us to fulfill those dreams. However, it is also our potential to become more than that that makes us more than just individuals. We are only limited by the fact that we are part of one species with all the others. An individual is only truly alive when he or she is able to rise above his or her concerns about being an individual to reach out and help someone else.
