Human nature Quote by Linda Marie Fedigan

“It is my opinion that humans are largely what they make of themselves; in other words, "human nature" is not so much an empirical reality as a process of self-construction. This means that if people become what they think they are, what they think they are is exceedingly important.” quote by Linda Marie Fedigan
