… You don’t discover who you are … I don’t know where this vocabulary came from. You see it all the time in proposals for free schools, “creating a climate of freedom so you can discover who you are.” … When someone says, “I want to know who I am,” what he really means is that he hasn’t found the activities, the friends, and the loyalties that he can give himself to. These are not inside the self. They’re all outside. And you discover them by looking outside. And when you find them, you don’t feel that you’ve discovered yourself, you feel that you’ve discovered friends, activities, and loyalties.
