Accepting Quote by Katherine Anne Porter

“The thing is not to follow a pattern. Follow your own pattern of feeling and thought. The thing is to accept your own life and not try to live someone else's life. Look, the thumbprint is not like any other, and the thumbprint is what you must go by.” quote by Katherine Anne Porter — Download Open image
