You are the sum total of what you have seen and learned, but underneath that is a core being, a usually untouchable being, that makes you who you truly are. It can make a person into a great peacemaker like Ghandi, or a serial killer like Ted Bundy, but it is immutable. That core holds both our deepest darkness and our greatest light. It’s the harmonies layered on top of that core melody that make us who we are from day to day. . Dana Marie Bell
About This Quote

The meaning of this quote is that we are more than just what we have seen and learned. We are also made up of something that is unseen and unchangeable. The core of our being makes us different from everyone else. It can make us kind and generous, or cruel and selfish.

But, underneath all of this is a song of the soul, which cannot be changed. That core melody makes us who we truly are, day after day.
