The only real people are the people who never existed

Summary

This quote reflects the notion that true identity and authenticity can often be found in fictional characters or personas rather than in real individuals. It suggests that these imagined characters, detached from societal constraints and expectations, can embody qualities and ideals that real people may struggle to attain. By transcending reality, they can represent an idealized version of humanity, expressing timeless truths and exhibiting a purity that may not be found in the complexities of real-life individuals.
