But you possess one quality that no one else does. Oh? Your identity. Your history, deeds and situation. Use those to shape your creation and you will produce something unique. Whatever you make, base it upon that which is most important to you. Only then will it have depth and meaning, and only then will it resonate with others. Christopher Paolini
About This Quote

"You possess one quality that no one else does. Oh? Your identity. Your history, deeds and situation. Use those to shape your creation and you will produce something unique.

Whatever you make, base it upon that which is most important to you." This quote is a part of a novel called "The Alchemist" written by Paulo Coelho. It is a novel where the main character travels and tries to find his true self or essence and what is truly important in life. The quote is also a saying that means: "When you create something you base it on what truly matters to you." Like for example if you're creating a story about the war and how the people who were affected by it feel now.

You need to base it on their stories as well as their experiences during that war just as the quote says.
