“The most important point is — and remains — not to take oneself seriously.”
Eric Hoffer (1898–1983) American philosopher
Entry (1954)
Eric Hoffer and the Art of the Notebook (2005)
Context: The most important point is — and remains — not to take oneself seriously. There is no past, and, certainly, no future. There are but a few years — ten at the most. You pass your days as best you can, doing as little harm as possible. Let the desires be few and treat expectations as weeds. You read, scribble as the spirit moves you, hear some new music, see every week the few people you are attached to. Again: guard yourself, above all, against self-dramatization, a feeling of importance, and the sprouting of expectations.
Stephanie Zacharek (1963) American film critic
