About This Quote

Things that are truly great need nothing from me, and to somehow think that they do speaks to my utter lack of greatness. This quote is really saying that people who are truly great don’t need anything from you. They don’t need you to validate them or to praise them. If they are truly great, then all they need is the recognition of their greatness.

Instead of trying to be in their company or in their presence, try being in their world. Instead of trying to be part of them, just appreciate them for who they are.
