About this Quote

This quote by Eric Hoffer speaks with the concept that we often installed an exterior to hide our real selves from the world. We might pretend to be something we are not, or act in a particular way to make ourselves appear better. However, this quote suggests that what we are really trying to hide is our vacuum. We might be attempting to fill a space in our lives, or to make ourselves feel more complete, but eventually, we are not able to hide the reality that something is missing out on. This quote talks to the concept that we can put up a front, but ultimately, our true selves will be revealed. It is difficult to conceal something that is not there.
