Summary

This quote suggests that our true self, who we really are, is reflected in how others perceive us and the impact we leave on them. It implies that the opinions and impressions etched in the hearts of others unveil an authentic depiction of our nature, more so than our own self-perception. Our actions, behaviors, and the way we interact with others shape this perception, ultimately revealing our genuine identity that surpasses any superficial facades we may project. In essence, our truest and deepest self is not self-contained but rather mirrored and recognized through the impressions we leave in others.
