“Knowing who in fact we are results in Good Being, and Good Being results in the most appropriate kind of good doing. But good doing does not of itself result in Good Being. We can be virtuous without knowing who in fact we are. The beings who are merely good are not Good Beings; they are merely pillars of society.”
That comes from a little green booklet called Notes on What’s What, and on What Might Be Reasonable to Do about What’s What.
