Chimamanda Ngozi AdichieI am just as human as the man.
About This Quote
When the leader of the free world says that he is just as human as the average man, he is being true to what he believes. He feels that his humanity is no different than that which is shared by any other human being. When you feel that you are beyond human, it can be tough for you to relate to other people. It's not an easy thing to live with yourself if you believe that there are things about yourself you should not have.
