"People always try to put a title or a symbol on you. If you work in a bank, you are a banker. For me, they see a co-founder of Facebook"

- Eduardo Saverin

About this Quote

In this quote, Eduardo Saverin is expressing his disappointment with how society often identifies and classifies individuals based on their profession or status. He believes that people are quick to assign titles or symbols to others, such as calling somebody who operates in a bank a "lender." Saverin, who is understood for being a co-founder of Facebook, feels that individuals only see him as that one aspect of his identity, rather than acknowledging him as a complex person. He is highlighting the tendency for society to minimize individuals to a single label, rather than acknowledging the intricacy and diversity within everyone. Saverin's words function as a pointer to not evaluate or specify others based on shallow attributes, however to see them as distinct and complex people.
