This is quite a profound quote.

It made me think that nobody wants to be a nobody. Everybody wants to be a somebody inorder to stand out from everybody else who inevitably must be bunch of nobody's. Since the nobody's is seen as less than sombody, it stil takes alot of nobody's to bring value to someone who is considered to be a somebody, who's value also are based on how many there are that can be judged as nobody's in their presence.

And it's not a stretch to assume that most peoples biggest fear is that of being a nobody.
