22232 | Authenticity is taking responsibility for a situation, with all its risks and emotions |
Full Idea: Authenticity consists in having a true and lucid consciousness of the situation, in assuming the responsibilities and risks that it involves, in accepting it in pride of humiliation, sometimes in horror and hate. | |||
From: Jean-Paul Sartre (Anti-Semite and Jew [1946], p.90), quoted by Christine Daigle - Jean-Paul Sartre 2.4 | |||
A reaction: [Not sure what 'pride of humiliation' is, so it may be a typo for 'or'] |
