Authentic Person

Famous quotes containing the words authentic and/or person:

    The reason why any one refuses his assent to your opinion, or his aid to your benevolent design, is in you: he refuses to accept you as a bringer of truth, because, though you think you have it, he feels that you have it not. You have not given him the authentic sign.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    If the hero is not a person, the emblem
    Of him, even if Xenophon, seems
    To stand taller than a person stands, has
    A wider brow, large and less human
    Eyes and bruted ears: the man-like body
    Of a primitive.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
