Neil GaimanNobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that. It’s true of everybody.
About This Quote
A quote that actually means that nobody is what they seem on the inside. We all have hidden or secret sides to our personalities that others don’t notice. Some people hide behind their tough exterior only because they are afraid of how others will react if they get to know them deeply. Others hide behind their tough exterior because they feel like they would be judged by other people for showing their vulnerable side. The truth is that nobody is what they seem on the inside.
