Jiddu KrishnamurtiDo not repeat after me words that you do not understand. Do not merely put on a mask of my ideas, for it will be an illusion and you will thereby deceive yourself.
About This Quote
We all love to quote famous and well-known people. We all want to be like our favorite celebrities. But, no matter how much we would like to, we do not understand what is being said. We are merely putting on a mask of someone else’s ideas, which are in fact only their words, not our own.
The idea of doing so can lead to deception. There are so many people who have used the words of others without giving the real meaning behind them.
