Maybe this is all a bit of a myth, a willful desire to give each place its own unique aura. But doesn't any collective belief eventually become a kind of truth?

The myth of unique urban character and unique sensibilities in different cities exists because we want it to exist.
David ByrneWoods and forests have been essentialt to the imagination of these islands, and of countries throughout the world, for centuries.

Robert MacfarlaneThis was the very purpose of creation that each unique, individual being should participate in its own way in the divine Being, should realize its eternal 'idea' in God, should 'become' God by participation, God expressing himself through that unique being.
Bede GriffithsI like my house to be unique to me. Sure, I've bought plenty of things out of a catalog, but the way I put them together in my home is special.

Nate BerkusBeing unique seems more desirable than ever. People are exhausted by clichรฉs, by platitudes, by mass-produced realities, by what's been done and done and done. The role of a true artist is to present their own unique vision, and so it has always made sense to me that works of art should be radical.
Porochista KhakpourI think sometimes when people start doing improv there's some regression towards trying to replicate the "good" improvisers that they've read about in their improv books or heard about from their teachers. That's understandable, because they're trying to learn technique and stuff, but I actually think that my favorite performers are ones who have unique improv technique but also have a unique point of view that you can feel with them and their performances.

Bob BufordWe cannot grasp the true meaning of the divine holiness by thinking of someone or something very pure and then raising the concept to the highest degree we are capable of. God's holiness is not simply the best we know infinitely bettered. We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable. The natural man is blind to it. He may fear God's power and admire His wisdom, but His holiness he cannot even imagine.
Aiden Wilson TozerSome people feel that it's controversial if I say that because my dad is known as a political artist. But I don't really believe that he was a political artist.

But I think he was unique in being able to do that.

Shane FilanAt certain junctures in the course of existence, unique moments occur when everyone and everything, even the most distant stars, combine to bring about something that could not have happened before and will never happen again.

Khaled HosseiniLoneliness is the inability to share your story, your Unique Self story. For most people, the move beyond loneliness requires us to share our story with a significant other. For the spiritual elite, the receiving of our own story - and the knowing that it is an integral part of the larger story of All-That-Is - is enough. But for most human beings, loneliness is transcended through contact with another person.

Ernest ClineHe [Osama bin Laden] is clearly an odd combination of a 12th-century theologian and a 21st-century CEO. He runs an absolutely unique organization in the Islamic world.

He's a man who speaks eloquent, almost poetic Arabic, according to Bernard Lewis.
Michael ScheuerWhen I think of [my relationship with Gable], considering the way it started, it was curious. We became devoted to each other.

Oh he sometimes gave me the macho routine when people were watching but he changed when we were alone.
