「本当の自分」を探している若者は、本当の自分とは、自身が見い出すよりも作り出す部分のほうが大きいことを学ばなければならない；そうして内省や思索をどれほど重ねようとも、人の日常の行動こそが、はるかに永続的に内面の人格を形作るのだ。 - シドニー・Ｊ・ハリス (1917 - 86): 『当分の間』

Young people searching for their "real self" must learn that the real self is not something one finds as much as it is something one makes; and it is one's daily actions that shape the inner personality far more permanently than any amount of introspection or intellection. - Sydney J. Harris (1917 - 86): For the Time Being
