We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.

Summary

This quote suggests that our identities or individuality are not solely the result of conscious creation or authorship, but rather they are shaped and formed through various experiences and influences. It implies that we are constantly under the process of editing, as we adapt, grow, and transform throughout our lives. Rather than being the creators of our own selves, we are molded and sculpted by the narratives, interactions, and choices we encounter, ultimately contributing to our unique identities as products of continuous editing.
