Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld
We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.
Summary
This quote by François de la Rochefoucauld suggests that over time, we become so used to presenting a certain image or façade to the world, that we eventually lose touch with our true selves. In our efforts to conform to societal expectations and gain acceptance from others, we may suppress our own authentic thoughts, feelings, and desires. This constant disguise hampers our ability to truly know ourselves, leading to a disconnection between our outer persona and our inner identity.
