and this rings true

One last Sartre interview passage before I hit the bus. I believe these words are wise:

“One always remains a little ignorant of oneself concerning the knowledge that others give us. If someone says: ‘You have an inquiring mind, you are ambitious, et cetera,’ one accepts that if the examples are specific, but often one does not unravel it. This is the kind of knowledge that one would find if one were to read a book about oneself once one is dead. It is knowledge that one does not control and it does not correspond to the other two categories, the ordinary self-knowledge that everyone has and the the deeper self-knowledge that some have.”

The distinction of the three different levels is, I think, true.
