About this Quote

This quote by River Phoenix speaks with the suggestion of anonymity as well as insignificance in the world. He recommends that he lies about personal things because it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of points. He indicates that he is a small, irrelevant part of the world, and that his name is no more his very own. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the concept of fame and also celeb, and just how it can strip away one's identification as well as feeling of self. It might additionally be seen as a representation on the suggestion of originality as well as how it can be lost in the stress of day-to-day life. Ultimately, this quote talks to the idea of just how we can all feel like we are just a tiny part of the world, and also how our private identifications can be shed in the crowd.
