Quote by Sue Miller
It seems we need someone to know us as we are--with all we have done--and forgive us. We need to tell. We need to be whole in someone's sight: Know this about me, and yet love me. Please. ...for...others it seems there must be a person to redeem us to ourselves. It isn't enough, apparently, to know oneself. To forgive oneself in secret.
Summary
This quote highlights the inherent human need for understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness from others. It suggests that in order to fully experience growth and healing, individuals require a confidant who knows their true selves and forgives them for their actions. It suggests that self-knowledge and self-forgiveness are not always sufficient, and that redemption often comes from external sources. The desire to be known, loved, and embraced despite one's flaws and past mistakes is a fundamental aspect of human nature explored in this quote.
