Quote by Paul Ambroise Valery

Long years must pass before the truths we have made for ourselves become our very flesh.

Long years must pass before the truths we have made for ours

Summary

This quote suggests that personal truths and beliefs take a considerable amount of time and experience to completely integrate within oneself. It implies that simply adopting an idea or belief doesn't instantly make it a fundamental part of who we are as individuals. Instead, the process of internalizing and fully embodying these truths requires a significant passage of time and personal growth. It highlights the transformative nature of time and experience in solidifying our core beliefs and making them an inherent part of our being.
