Quote by Corazon Aquino

I've reached a point in life where it's no longer necessary to try to impress. If they like me the way I am, that's good. If they don't, that's too bad.

I've reached a point in life where it's no longer necessary

Summary

This quote speaks to reaching a stage of self-acceptance and confidence, where the opinion and validation of others are no longer the driving force. It signifies a shift in focus from seeking external approval to embracing one's true self. The individual recognizes that authenticity is more important than attempting to impress or conform to the expectations of others, and ultimately realizes that if people appreciate them for who they genuinely are, it is a positive outcome, while any rejection is seen as a loss that does not deter their self-worth.

How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without

How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.
