About This Quote

What we like to think of ourselves and what we really are rarely have much in common. This quote by Elizabeth Gilbert is one that most people will agree with. It is difficult to be the person you think you are if you don’t understand the person you truly are. The way we define ourselves is something that changes according to our surrounding world.

A person who has never met another person might look at them and see a completely different being than someone they have known for their entire life. If they have never seen someone hurt, they might look at them as a coward. If they have never had anything experience with love, their definition of love might be very different from someone else’s.
