I used to sit near Marilyn Monroe in the Actor's Studio. She'd get dressed up because that was her identity. Sad. Those cameras wouldn't leave her alone. She didn't know where to hide.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

Marks of Identity is among other things the expression of the process of alienation in a contemporary intellectual with respect to his own country.

Attacks on a politician's identity - questioning Romney's religion say or Obama's birthplace - tend to come when an opponent is desperate and can't sell himself.

Religious people often prefer to be right rather than compassionate. Often they don't want to give up their egotism. They want their religion to endorse their ego their identity.
