Vonnegut: We are what we pretend to be

December 21, 2015 Eric Johnson

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” –Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

I heard Derek Sivers quote this in his podcast interview on the Tim Ferriss Show. 

 Act as if you are who you want to be.
