The unique personality which is the real life in me, I can not gain unless I search for the real life, the spiritual quality, in others. I am myself spiritually dead unless I reach out to the fine quality dormant in others. For it is only with the god enthroned in the innermost shrine of the other, that the god hidden in me, will consent to appear. Felix Adler
About This Quote

This quote is in essence saying that in order to experience the unique personality that makes us different from each other, all we must do is find the fine qualities in others that are hidden within ourselves. We must strive to help others discover their own unique qualities and learn to see what makes them special. By doing this, we get closer to our own inner selves by seeing the same things in each other.
