I adore Chuck Palahnuik's invisible monsters. I'm surprised I haven't quoted him yet.

KISS, China L.

That quote is so true, but I guess it's what is done with the jumbled mess of inspiration from everything else that makes it seam like originality.

<3 the girl.

Cara said...

Palahniuk is the best! I think my favorite quote from this book is "The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person." Every line he writes is quotable though...

Brigadeiro said...

Great quote!

enigmas said...

wow people are dumb.

camille, you're incredible and clearly not a nobody. hateful comments just signify your increasing popularity. :)

Anonymous said...

well, what makes a somebody? we are all every bit as human as everybody else.

indigo said...

jeez people need to get a life and stop spreading hostility.

chuck palahniuk is great-- "everybody here thinks the whole story is about them. definitely that goes for everybody in the world"

breezy said...

you are wonderful, don't listen to hateful anonymous comments :) i love that quote!

kater said...

Ahhh, isn't it funny that the one who points and says others are nobody can only self-identify themselves as anonymous? Silly, I think!

Looking forward to coming posts, as always!

jaleh said...

lol the anon. the point of the quote is that it applies to everyone.

jossi said...

I love your blog and your creativity with your clothes!
Keep up the good work ;)
<3<3

ninja said...

hmm dunno wether its true or not.but i think so :/

Lauren said...

my sister recommended that book to me...i have yet to read it. orange must have stole their commercial ideas from this quote!

Ziling said...

The quote applies to everyone. Can you dare to say you're original? That you dont have to get inspirations from elsewhere for your dressing etc? I dont think so. :)

Keep up the good work dear!

Stephanie said...

I really love this quote. at a certain point- and I think especially as bloggers- we all become a little bit influenced by the people we've crossed paths with.

Cassandra said...

That quote is so true.

Even the goth and emo kids who dress to be 'different' are, in essence, following a prescribed formula - and one that makes them even less original for thinking that dressing in that way makes them unique. EVERYONE wears black.

Happy belated birthday, by the way, and keep up the great posts!

Miss G* said...

This is so right!

Appeal to the Eye said...

bluebird said...

why are people so ridiculous? The quote says that "Nothing of me is original" not "I am a nobody". Obviously some people can't read.

We are all a product of our environment and the things we see around us. That includes fashion. I love this quote because it gives credit where credit is due.

If you're going to leave snide remarks, at least have the decency of not being anonymous....geesh...

Mary said...

anybody who takes college courses as a 16 year old and runs a blog with 2000+ followers is a somebody to me.

Alice X said...

i hate anons because that quote is completely true. even the most seemingly original people are all combinations of people before them

LYDIA said...

there are too many amazing chuck palahnink quotes in the world.

Jen said...

I love Chuck Palahniuk.

Elena said...

Please ignore the Anon. comment! This is such a great quote! Here is another good one from Jim Jarmusch:
"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery-celebrate it if you like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Gdard said: "It's not where you take things from- it's where you take them to."

P.S. Love your blog, you are great!

Idhren said...

The quotation is very right indeed! I can relate to that entirely. Another one by someone anonymous goes something like this: "Originality is just a skill of hiding your sources (and inspiration)". There is great wisdom here. And you know what people? It's okay.

Hugs to you Camille, you are a light in the darkness!

tiana b. said...

To all the hataz: everybody is a somebody.

To Camille: I totally agree. Everyone is made up of bits & pieces of people they meet along the way.

Chuck is my boyyy.

Ria said...

Oh wow I never knew that was Chuck Palahniuk but it's one of my favorite quotes.

Anonymous said...

This is definately something that you've heard alot. But I like you are a beautiful person inside and out. People who say otherwise are just lowlife people who have nothing better to do and are just jealous. I enjoy reading your blog daily. Every post that you make I see your style evolve more and more. You will go far, really far.

Best Wishes,
Morgan <3

leigh said...

it's slightly ironic that palahniuk copied that quote from descartes.

Ezra said...

hey i saw your blog on teenvogue!
i was thinking "hey! i subscribed to that blog!"
Haha keep up the good work

The Divinitus said...

I think all depends on mixed proportions; you know, its like inventing a new drink using old ingredients.

Fashlynable said...

Wow, a quote can really make people go all philosophical.
Obviously some of the anonymous readers are pessimists, because they are saying everyone is a nobody, but isn't it the opposite?
Anyways, I know what you mean about the hectic schedule.
And I saw this and thought you might like it:

Everything one does influences another.
Echange is key, it makes us who we are.
