The famous quotes of the iconic figures can be found everywhere. But how do you find unique quotes that not everyone knows? Displaying an inspirational quote on your wall is always a great way to create an uplifting environment. But only an original quote can add a special, personal touch to your space. In this post, I have 22 unique quotes about life, love, positivity and yourself for you. Have a look through the compilation—I’m sure there’s something that speaks to you!
Do you like quotes? For inspiration? Motivation? Positivity, love, and self-love? And about life in general? Then you are like me!
I’m a huge fan of quotes—not only to find creative inspiration but also to keep my spirits up, to learn from others, and relate with their experiences on an emotional and intellectual level.
Meaningful and authentic quotes have the power to motivate and encourage us, soothe our soul, and make us feel less alone. I’ve already put together a couple of posts with quotes about artistic inspiration, quotes to overcome the fear of creativity, quotes to caption your art on social media, and my personal favorite quotes for positivity and motivation.
Now, you might wonder: so many posts with quotes already, why write another one? Good question!
To solve the riddle, all of the above posts contain quotes from famous people—from the iconic artist of the past and present and other great minds.
In this post, however, I have unique quotes about life, love, positivity & yourself that you don't find anywhere else.
How’s that, that you don’t find these quotes anywhere else?
Well, the quotes you’ll find here are not from mainstream literature and historical figures. Instead, they are from yours truly.
While I’m “primarily” a digital artist and photographer, I’m sharing in these quotes my own truths, experiences, and beliefs.
Oftentimes, the quotes that are the most meaningful to us come from within. At least, that’s how I feel.
Maybe my words resonate with your personality, values, or current experiences. If that’s the case, I’m happy to share some original and unique quotes with you!
Hopefully, these quotes will become reminders of self-love and worthiness and serve you as powerful sources of inspiration, positivity, and motivation.
That being said, let’s get into it:
How to find unique quotes?
Quotes can be powerful sources of motivation, wisdom, and creativity. But finding unique quotes that genuinely resonate with you can be challenging. Nowadays, in the digital age, popular phrases are everywhere.
Websites like BrainyQuote, Goodreads, and QuoteMaster are full of quotes. However, chances are you’ll see the same quotes over and over again. That can make it hard to find quotes that are fresh, original, and truly meaningful.
Often, a unique quote comes not from a famous figure but from someone sharing their own experiences and personal insights.
The good news is that new quotes are being crafted all the time. Lesser known artists, musicians, and motivational speakers often capture their learnings and emotions in short and memorable statements.
Finding such unique quotes can add depth, perspective, and a touch of originality to your life. Because, if these quotes reflect your own truths and experiences, they can be more meaningful than any other quote from a famous person.
The quotes that I'm going to share with you are reflections of my own thoughts that I put into words to process my experiences, learn from them, and come out of difficult situations even stronger.
Even though some of those experiences have long gone by, the quotes still serve me as powerful reminders to value and love myself, prioritize my well-being, and stay positive in the face of life’s adversities.

Feel free to read through my quotes below to see if they resonate with you, too, offering you a little positive boost in times of stress and doubt.
As opposed to common, famous quotes, these displaying a print of these unique quotes can also add a personal touch to your space, creating a welcoming, uplifting environment in your home or workspace!
Without further ado, here come my 22 unique quotes about life, love, positivity and yourself:
22 Unique Quotes About Life, Love, Positivity & Yourself
Unique quotes about life
Under “unique quotes about life,” I’ve put together five quotes that stem from my thoughts and experiences in life. Since we all go through similar experiences, there might be something that you can relate with and that you find inspirational:
I’m rather an introvert person, down to the ground and calm. But—I do pursue my passions, I follow my calling as an artist and stand up for my dreams.
If you are someone who pursues their desires and lives your life, being fully aware that you only have this life, you’ve surely experienced that this is reason enough for some people to call you “crazy.”
Those people are usually the ones who hold back, who don’t live their life to the fullest, who make decisions based on their fears and not on their dreams. Those people are probably the ones who will regret the things they haven’t done when they are on their death bed.
“You Are Crazy.” is a reminder to live “enough” — to pursue your desires, take risks, and experience life fully. It’s a declaration against complacency, making each glance at it a push to live without regrets, to embody freedom, and to create a life that you would look back on with a smile rather than what-ifs.
This quote stirs a powerful feeling of urgency, calling to break free from the constraints we often place on ourselves. It pushes us to recognize life’s fleeting nature and challenges us to embrace boldness, spontaneity, and joy.
“You are crazy.”
and you are not crazy enough.
you don’t enjoy. life. enough.
you don’t have. fun. enough.
you don’t do. what you want. enough.
don’t you know. my dear
when you are on your death bed you will regret the things that you haven’t done
~enough
I already mentioned life’s fleeting nature above. We all know that nothing in life is permanent. Everything comes and goes.
Places are changing, relationships are changing, people come and go.
It’s not only that nothing stays the same in life, nothing actually stays. One day we will go too, and not even planet earth will remain forever.
“Nothing Stays The Same” captures the essence of life’s impermanence, inviting us to reflect on the beauty of change and the fleeting nature of all things.
This quote is like a gentle reminder to embrace each moment, knowing that all things—both joyful and challenging—are unique and will eventually pass.
It encourages a mindset of acceptance and presence, helping us find peace in the ebb and flow of life. Looking at this original quote is like a daily lesson: to cherish, release, and find grace in the transience that defines our life.
You’ve surely noticed the last line scripted in strange characters. Those characters are Arabic and mean “nothing is meant to stay.” It’s a common phrase in Arabic that reminds us that everything in this worldly life has an end.
I’ve learnt a bit of Arabic and I L ❤︎ VE the script. In some of the quotes that are to come, you’ll see a few more Arabic lines.
nothing stays the same.
nothing stays.
nothing.
~life.لا شيئ مكتوب له البقاء
If you are a little art perfectionist like me—and a perfectionist in general—you might have to remind yourself from time to time to not try and make everything perfect. Because it’s just not possible.
Perfection just doesn’t exist in this world.
“Nothing. Is. Perfect.” is a beautiful reminder—for myself and maybe for you, too—that life is an ongoing journey, never flawless or complete. It inspires to let go of the urge to wait for “the perfect moment” and instead savor the beauty in each imperfect one.
This quote can serve as a nudge to embrace life as it is, in all its fluidity and imperfection, encouraging us to find fulfillment in the now. Displaying it somewhere in your home creates a daily invitation to immerse yourself in the countless “perfect moments” around us, appreciating the richness of life as it flows.
nothing is ever finished.
everything is constantly flowing.
don’t wait for the perfect moment.
it’ll never come.~you’d just be missing all these perfect moments
constantly flowing by.
To live our lives fully, with courage and passion, we must be aware of life’s temporary nature.
“Just A Moment” is a reminder of the fleeting essence of life, encouraging us to reflect how each moment is both precious and temporary. This quote is a profound tribute to appreciating our lives and the people we encounter—here and now.
It invites us to cherish each moment, to be fully present, and to hold onto the memories that shape us, even as they pass.
Displaying this unique quote on your wall can be a powerful call to treasure each interaction, for we are all “just a moment” in one another’s lives, and each moment is worth embracing fully.
you come.
you are here.
you are gone.
already.
and nothing can bring you back.~ you are just a moment.
(appreciate everyone of them.)
I don’t want superficial connections and conversations. I want meaningful relations, sincere friendships and heartfelt communication. “I Want To Go Deep.”
If this unique quote speaks to you yearning for intensity and depth, your desire to live and love beyond the superficial, touching the very core of experience, then you might appreciate a copy of it on your wall!
Displaying it in your space invites you to approach each day with courage and vulnerability, to seek genuine connections, and to savor the raw beauty of going “deep.” It’s a powerful declaration—a commitment to passion, truth, and unfiltered existence and a reminder that life is meant to be felt, not just lived, inspiring you to dive fearlessly into all that stirs your heart and soul.
i don’t want to scratch the surface anymore.
i want to be a splinter that permeates the skin and goes deep into the flesh.
i want to be an arrow that pierces the chest and bores itself right into the heart.
i want to be a flash of lightning that shakes the senses and churns every cell.
i want to be a gust of air that enters deep into the lungs runs with the blood through all the body and embraces the soul in a warm summer breeze.
i want to go deep.
Unique quotes about love
“Love, love, love. All we need is love…“
Love is probably not all we need in life, but a huge part of it. We all know how it feels to fall in love—and to fall out of love. We can all tell stories of being in love, of heartbreak and healing. Love can make us happy, love can make us sad—and teach us the greatest lessons.
Here you can find five unique quotes about love from yours truly:
أموت عليك — is an Arabic expression for being in love with someone. Literally, this phrase means “I’m dying for you.” In my quote, I transcribed it as “you are killing me” — in the most positive way, because it’s “the sweetest death ever” (أحلى موت العالم).
“You Are Killing Me” captures the intensity of love and attraction—that irresistible pull so powerful, it feels as if it consumes you, yet it’s a feeling you wouldn’t trade for anything.
These words are a striking testament to passionate emotions, evoking the thrill and surrender of letting yourself be completely captivated. It’s a reminder of those rare connections that transform you, where losing yourself becomes bliss.
Having this quote displayed in your home is like holding onto a piece of that overwhelming sweetness, inviting you to cherish the vulnerability and depth of such connections, time and time again.
you are killing me.
.أموت عليك
~the sweetest death ever.
.أحلى موت العالم
You are worthy of love. The way you are. You don’t need to change. You don’t need to get better. Your worthiness is “the gold in your soul.” If someone cannot see that gold in your soul, they don’t deserve your love, your shining upon them.
“The Gold In My Soul” is a powerful affirmation of self-worth and the value of reciprocal, meaningful connections. It serves as a reminder to honor relationships that appreciate and reflect the beauty and depth within you.
Looking at this quote daily is like a reaffirmation of self-respect and authenticity, encouraging you to invest your energy in people who recognize and amplify the “gold” in your soul. It’s an inspiring message to surround yourself with those who genuinely uplift, appreciate, and mirror your inner brilliance.
if your presence doesn’t reflect
the gold in my soul
you’re not worth my
shining upon you.
One of the biggest mistakes we can probably make in love is take a love relationship lightly. Sadly, we live in a superficial society where shallow relations are commonplace. Many people enter love relationships without sincere intentions. But—some love affairs might not be as easy to shake off as one expected…
“Some Stains Remain.” is a testament to the indelible mark left by a deep, enduring love—a love that lingers, no matter how one might try to let go. It speaks to the idea that some people and experiences become part of us, woven into our very fabric, impossible to forget or discard.
This quote can serve as a reminder of the strength and permanence of true connection. Hanging it on your wall invites reflection on those powerful bonds that withstand time and distance, honoring the beauty of a love that cannot be erased.
you might have thought it (I) will be easy
to wash off (like a stain)
to cast aside (like a cloth)
to shake off (like the dust)
to brush away (like the dirt)
but you forgot (my love)
some stains remain.
Who doesn’t like kisses? I like forehead kisses, cheek kisses, hugs. They make me feel valued and safe, contributing to establish closeness, trust and mutual respect in a relationship.
“Kiss Me. More.” is a playful invitation to experience more—more connection, more affection, more presence in the simple yet profound act of a kiss. It speaks to the joy of embracing desire and letting ourselves be fully absorbed in small, intimate gestures.
This short but profound quote invites a sense of warmth, romance, and spontaneity, encouraging you to live with an open heart and a readiness for those beautiful, fleeting moments of connection.
“I’m Suicidal,” in this unique quote, is not to be understood as the statement of someone who doesn’t want to live anymore, but as a metaphoric ode to an intense love experience.
The quote speaks to the depths of passion, where surrender becomes both thrilling and comforting, a place where vulnerability and safety coexist. It expresses an intense, all-consuming desire—a longing to lose oneself entirely in the embrace of a beloved.
It’s a bold declaration of love’s power to dissolve boundaries and envelop us fully, inviting you to embrace the idea of giving yourself over to love, experiencing every moment deeply and completely. These lines are meant to remind of the beauty in surrendering, merging, and allowing love to be an irresistible, transformative force.
“I’m Suicidal” contains the same line of Arabic text as “You Are Killing Me” above — أموت عليك, an expression for being in love, literally meaning “I’m dying for you.” — which also served as inspiration for the title this quote.
i’m suicidal –
i want to drown in your kiss
sink in your hug
burry my head in your chest
suffocate in your skin
perish under your arms
shatter between your hands
disappear in your embrace~ the sweetest suicide ever.
Unique quotes on positivity
If you’re wondering how to find unique quotes on positivity, have a look at my three original quotes below. I titled this section “quotes on positivity”—in the broadest sense, but I could have as well said quotes about self-love, self-esteem and acceptance, because this is what they are! ʕᴖᴥᴖʔ
See for yourself:
“Never Be A Lesser You” celebrates the complexity of our personalities, embracing the idea that we are made up of contrasting elements that coexist harmoniously.
The quote encourages us to recognize and appreciate every facet of ourselves—the light and the dark, the sweet and the sour—as integral parts of our unique tapestry. It serves as a powerful affirmation to fully accept our multifaceted nature and to never shy away from any aspect of ourselves.
These words are meant to inspire self-acceptance and confidence, reminding you to relish every detail of who you are, unapologetically and wholly. It invites a deeper understanding that our richness comes from our individuality, making it a meaningful addition to any wall art design.
you are always both ends. opposites.
light and darkness. ying and yang. black and white.
and many shades in between.
vulnerable and invincible. sweet and sour.~ you are too many delicious details to not relish all of them.
never be a lesser you.
Did you know that I like to meditate? I think meditation is a great way for artists to fuel their creativity.
“Listen.” encapsulates the profound beauty and serenity found in stillness and meditation. It invites to explore the transformative power of silence, suggesting that within it lies a soothing melody waiting to be discovered.
It’s not only a gentle reminder to take a moment for yourself, to slow down, and to immerse yourself in the peace that comes from quieting the mind. It’s also an invitation to listen to yourself, to turn away from all the noise in the outside world and look within.
The quote encourages a mindful approach to life, inviting moments of reflection and tranquility amidst the chaos. Displaying it in your home is not just a decoration, but a call to embrace the richness of inner calm and the sweet melodies that arise when we give ourselves the gift of stillness.
listen.
there is silence.
a deep ocean of silence.
when you quiet your mind.what a beautiful sweet melody.
~ meditate.
“How Are You Feeling, My Love” offers a tender and nurturing inquiry into one’s emotional and physical well-being, emphasizing the importance of self-care and connection.

In today’s world, it is all too easy to lose ourselves. That’s why this unique quote invites reflection on how we truly feel, encouraging us to check in with ourselves and cultivate a sense of peace and love within. It serves as a daily reminder to prioritize our own feelings and well-being, creating a space for introspection and self-compassion.
This is my personal favorite quote that also hangs on my wall. When I was writing these lines, I was actually talking to myself. That being said, the most important part of this piece of poetry is its last two words: at home. Because, for me, feeling at home implies all the before mentioned. When you’re feeling at home, you’re feeling loved, calm, joyous and at peace.
All in all, this quote serves me as a gentle prompt for self-love and mindfulness, inspiring a deeper awareness of how we nurture our hearts and souls and encourages creating an environment where we feel truly at home in our own skin.
how are you feeling, my love.
is your breath feeling calm.
is your mind feeling at peace.
is your heart feeling joyous.
is your body feeling loved.
is your soul feeling
~at home.
Unique quotes about yourself and self-love
Are you looking to find unique quotes about yourself? By quotes about yourself, I mean quotes about self-love, self-acceptance and self-encouragement. In short, anything that reminds you that you are worthy of being loved.
Quotes about self and self-love are the most important ones; here are altogether six profound quotes from my quill:
“Breathe. More.” is an ode to embrace life with all its facets, both the happy ones and the sad ones. It reminds us that life is meant to be savored—to laugh loudly, to cry freely, and to simply be who we truly are.
The quote is an invitation to live fully and boldly, encouraging a celebration of all our emotions and quirks. It’s very much like a powerful and uplifting mantra, urging us to embrace the full spectrum of human experience with openness and authenticity.
Displaying a beautiful design of this piece in your space inspires a vibrant mindset, reminding you to let go of inhibitions and engage deeply with life. It’s a call to prioritize joy and authenticity, making it a perfect addition to any environment that nurtures creativity and self-expression.
breathe. more.
enjoy. more.
laugh. more.
cry. more.
be. more
yourself.
“You Can Be. Amazing.” encourages self-acceptance and—very much like “Nothing. Is. Perfect.” above—it is a reminder to let go of perfectionism.
The quote captures the beauty of our inherent worth of being human, regardless of our imperfections. It reminds us that our mistakes and flaws do not define us; instead, they contribute to our unique journey and growth.
The lyrical words open a compassionate perspective towards oneself, celebrating the courage it takes to embrace our true selves. Displaying these lines in a prominent place in your home becomes a daily affirmation of self-love and empowerment.
It inspires you to recognize and appreciate your own amazing qualities, making it a meaningful addition to any space dedicated to personal growth and positivity.
you can be.
with all your mistakes and flaws
you can be
amazing.~ the privilege of being human.
How do you talk to yourself? To your inner child? “You Are A Queen, My Dear” inspires confidence and self-assurance, inviting you to honor your journey and reign over your life with grace and courage. It encourages you to rise above challenges and claim your rightful place in the world.
The quote acknowledges the complexities of human emotions—the days of sadness, exhaustion, and longing—while firmly asserting that despite these struggles, we are still powerful beings deserving of love and respect.
You can display it in your home as an empowering celebration of resilience and strength, to remind you of your inherent worth and to cultivate a sense of empowerment and self-worth.
you are a queen, my dear.
born with a scepter in your hand and a crown on your head.
some days you may feel weak. some days you may feel sad.
some days you may feel exhausted. some days you may feel discouraged.
some days you may feel hurt.
some days you may miss someone.
some days you may crave the endless love.
but you are a queen, my dear.
claim your kingdom.
“When Was The Last Time” is a profound reminder to pause and recognize the incredible gifts we each possess: our capacity to feel, think, choose, and simply be. In times of sadness, we often refuse to feel. We don’t want to feel the emotional pain; we want to be happy again as fast as possible and try to push away the feelings that we consider “negative.”
Sounds familiar?
Well, when taking a closer look, we actually realize that our ability to feel is a gift. It’s a gift to experience life in its fullness and appreciate the complexities of our humanity—the joy and sorrow, the strength and vulnerability, the ability to navigate right and wrong.
“When Was The Last Time” inspires gratitude and self-love, fostering a deeper connection with our own experiences and emotions. It’s a celebration of the beauty of being human, reminding us to appreciate ourselves for all that we are—a meaningful reminder of personal growth and positivity.
when was the last time you appreciated.
you were gifted with a heart.
that can feel.
sad. (and happy)
when was the last time you appreciated.
you were gifted with a mind.
that can go.
mad. (and become soft again)
when was the last time you appreciated.
you were gifted with a reason.
that can decide.
wrong. (and right)
when was the last time you appreciated you were gifted with a will.
that can determine.
what You want. (and go for it)
when was the last time you appreciated you were gifted with a soul.
that is.
you.
~ when was the last time you appreciated. you.
(you beautiful human being)
“I Licked My Wounds.” illustrates how wounds and scars, symbols of struggle, can blossom into something beautiful and precious.
Oftentimes, we try to hide our scars, which may be both physical and emotional. But, instead of trying to deny them, we should embrace our history and wear our experiences with pride. Every scar is a learning that led us to where we are now in our journey through life.
This quote invites you to recognize that every scar tells a story and adds to your unique beauty, much like jewelry that enhances your presence. It inspires self-acceptance and strength, encouraging you to celebrate your journey and the ways it has shaped you.
i licked my wounds.
i kissed my scars.
they flowered into golden ornaments adorning my skin.
i wear my most precious jewelry with pride.
“Don’t Let Anybody Deny The Pain” powerfully affirms the validity of our emotions, emphasizing that pain is personal and should never be diminished by others. It resonates with anyone who has experienced heartbreak, loss, or disappointment, reminding us that our feelings are real, no matter how long or intense the situation may be.
Doesn’t it happen all too often that someone tells us we are too sensitive, we shouldn’t take everything to heart, we shouldn’t make such a fuss about nothing, …?
Related: Artists Feel Things Differently [Artistic Sensitivity Explained]
This quote is a reminder that your feelings matter, contributing to self-empowerment and emotional authenticity. It serves as a vital affirmation of self-acceptance and emotional honesty, encouraging you to honor your own experiences without shame or guilt.
Displaying a print of this original quote in your home can help create a supportive space that validates your journey and fosters resilience.

a few days, a few weeks, a few months…don’t let anybody deny the pain
you’re feeling because He never promised you
more, love, marriage…don’t let anybody deny the pain
you’re feeling
because They say it
wasn’t love, wasn’t serious, happens every day…don’t let anybody deny the pain
you’re feeling
because if You feel it
it is real.
"I am unique" quotes
Last but not least, I want to conclude this post on how to find unique quotes with quotes that emphasize exactly that—your uniqueness. ʕᴖᴥᴖʔ
We are all one of a kind. We all have our strengths, weaknesses, quirks and pleasurable sides. And even if we don’t like our shadows, all those qualities make us who we are. Isn’t that reason enough to celebrate our uniqueness?
“Today I Celebrate. Myself.” is a powerful declaration of self-love and appreciation. It encourages us to take a moment to honor our individuality and achievements, no matter how big or small.
These short words can serve as a daily reminder to prioritize self-celebration and to acknowledge our worth in a world that often encourages self-doubt. They transform everyday moments into opportunities for joy and gratitude, contributing to a mindset of self-affirmation and celebration.
Displaying this wall art quote in your home inspires positivity and confidence, inviting you to embrace who you are and all that you have accomplished.
“So Many Mistakes” embraces the beautifully imperfect nature of being human, acknowledging that mistakes are an inevitable part of our journey.
It encourages a mindset of growth and resilience, reminding us that each misstep is a valuable lesson and an opportunity for self-discovery.
Mistakes are part of life. They’ll always happen, no matter how hard we try to avoid them. We shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes, because each mistakes includes a valuable learning.
That’s why this quote can serve as a powerful affirmation of self-acceptance and the courage to continue evolving, despite the challenges we face. It inspires a sense of freedom to embrace our flaws and learn from our experiences, fostering a supportive environment for personal growth.
so many mistakes.
that i’ve made in my life.
and i’m not going to stop.~ human.
My last quote for you in this post is a reminder of your inherent divinity. After all, we are spiritual beings having a human experience, while our true nature is eternal and infinite.
“Divine” invites you to reconnect with the deeper aspects of yourself, encouraging self-reflection and spiritual awakening.
We all know that while we navigate the complexities of life, it’s easy to lose sight of our true, extraordinary nature. This quote serves as a reminder of the appreciation for the divine within, fostering a mindset that embraces both our humanity and our higher potential.
