Quote by Jean Cocteau

What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.

What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.

Summary

This quote suggests that instead of being disheartened or offended by the criticism we receive from the public, we should embrace it as a valuable opportunity for growth and self-improvement. It implies that the aspects of ourselves that draw criticism are integral parts of our identity and should therefore be nurtured. By being open to criticism, we can learn from it, develop a better understanding of ourselves, and work towards becoming the best version of who we truly are.

One might suppose that reality must be held to at all costs. However, though that may be the moral thing to do, it is not necessarily the most useful thing to do. The Greeks themselves chose the ideal over the real in their geometry and demonstrated very well that far more could be achieved by consideration of abstract line and form than by a study of the real lines and forms of the world; the greater understanding achieved through abstraction could be applied most usefully to the very reality that was ignored in the process of gaining knowledge.
