Quote by Sarah Bernhardt, The Memoirs of
We must live for the few who know and appreciate us, who judge and absolve us, and for whom we have the same affection and indulgence. The rest I look upon as a mere crowd...from whom there is nothing to be expected but fleeting emotions.
Summary
This quote suggests that we should focus on seeking validation and building relationships with a select few individuals who truly understand and appreciate us. These individuals will not only judge and forgive us but will also reciprocate our affection and tolerance. The rest of society, referred to as a "mere crowd," is seen as incapable of offering anything beyond superficial and transient reactions. Therefore, it implies that investing energy in gaining approval from the majority is fruitless, as genuine connections and acceptance are more valuable and meaningful from those who truly matter.
