About this Quote

This quote by Jane Horrocks speaks to the idea that it is often tough to satisfy the assumptions we have of people we admire. It recommends that it is often much better to keep our expectations of individuals in check, as it is unlikely that they will certainly live up to them. This is specifically real of symbols, who are often viewed as epic figures. Horrocks is suggesting that it is better to keep our assumptions of icons in check, as it is not likely that they will certainly measure up to them. This is a smart belief, as it is frequently better to maintain our expectations sensible as well as not be dissatisfied if they are not met. It is important to bear in mind that icons are still human, and they are not perfect. It is much better to appreciate them for that they are, instead of expecting them to measure up to our expectations.
