What has been said? [Authenticity]
Let us discover together what some historical figures said about authenticity. I will be choosing brilliant people from different fields to get a diversified perspective.
The Psychiatrist:
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
― C.G. Jung
The Writer:
“Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free.”
― Eckhart Tolle
The Philosopher:
“Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity – I mean the true simplicity of a rightly and nobly ordered mind and character, not that other simplicity which is only a euphemism for folly.”
― Plato
The Novelist:
“But above all, in order to be, never try to seem.”
― Albert Camus
The Prince:
“Perfect valour is to do without witnesses what
one would do before all the world.”
