We all have quirks, but since sometimes it can be hard to realize that they’re a huge part of your personality (they’re the you-iest part of you), these inspirational quotes I’ve collected should help shine light on why you should admire them instead of feeling ashamed! So here are 7 inspirational quotes that hep you admire the unique weirdness in you!
1 Gerard Way
My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way said it best. It’s better to be you--all of you--than pretending to be someone else. You’re unique and wonderful in your own right, and no failures or bouts of depression can ever take that away! This is one of my favorite inspirational quotes to date.

2 Ariana Grande
Though she’s young, these words seem to be full of wisdom. Flaws: everyone has them! (Aside from the lovely Beyonce, who sings to us that she just wakes up Flawless.) Don’t let the imperfections of your body, hair, weight, etc. negatively reflect how you feel about yourself. Exactly as you are, that is as you should be. Or if you want to make a change, stay true to yourself and do it in a healthy way that only highlights and works for your quirks instead of overshadowing them!
3 Johnny Depp
Yes, Johnny definitely knows what he’s talking about with this one! Everyone really is weird in their own way, and there’s nothing wrong with that. So what if you color coordinate down to the socks or don’t like certain foods to touch on your plate?! There’s nothing to be ashamed of! You’re you, that’s it. There’s no need to explain or apologize. How about loving it (or at least trying to) instead? I think that’d be a lot better in the long run!
4 E. E. Cummings
With the media constantly telling you that you need to change or buy something to make you feel more beautiful, thinner, etc, a quote like this really puts things back in perspective. Being who you are in a society like this is an extremely difficult feat, but if you remember this quote and try hard to ignore the criticism, you’ll be on your way to being more comfortable with yourself.
5 C. Joybell C
This is perhaps one of the most profound things I’ve ever read on the internet. Of all the things in life, being regular or generic is one of the things I am afraid of. Being a part of the herd, trying to fit in and be just like everyone else benefits no one. It stops people from seeing the real you, from seeing the wonderful quirks about you, the things that make you happy or sad or angry! They’re all important and specific to you, so show and appreciate that!
6 Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
See? Even your friends have quirks that you love. Or else they wouldn’t be the people that you hold dear. When you think of it that way, it’s easier to put into terms when it comes to yourself. Flaws and all, ladies, flaws and all!
7 Dr. Seuss
Who is not a fan of Dr. Seuss quotes? They always express the most positive ideas about self image and how to face the world around you. Like he said, we’re all in the same weird boat together and if you happen to show your weird to the right person, you can find someone who truly appreciates you for it!
Whether you think your quirks and weirdness are a blessing or a burden, it’s important to evaluate just what they mean to you. If you love them, great! You’re on the right track. If not, take a minute to re-read these inspirational quotes and get acquainted with acceptance. After all, you wouldn’t want friends that aren’t as weird as you, now would you? What is your favorite quote about admiring your quirks? Did you like any of these?
