Quoted in Jewish Affairs (Johannesburg), June 1952, p. 28. See Alle Verk, xii. 318.

“We are all the aggregate of the ideas about us, including our own ideas about us.”
De Abaitua interview (1998)
Context: We are all the aggregate of the ideas about us, including our own ideas about us. That is all that any of us can be considered as – units of information in a sea of information.
