Quote by Eric Berne

We are born princes and the civilizing process makes us frogs.

We are born princes and the civilizing process makes us frog

Summary

This quote suggests that all human beings possess an innate nobility and potential, comparable to princes. However, as we grow up and adapt to society's expectations and norms (the civilizing process), we often lose touch with our natural essence and become ordinary, akin to frogs. It implies that the process of conforming to social structures and conventions may hinder us from fully expressing our true selves and realizing our inherent greatness. Ultimately, it highlights the importance of nurturing our individuality and reconnecting with our inner royalty.
