For several years now, users of social networks have been distributing a motivational quote attributed to an Oscar -reference actor. The artist allegedly calls to stop talking with people who do not want to change and are "not interested in your presence." We checked whether such an attribution is correct.
The alleged statement of Anthony Hopkins spreads in Runet in at least three versions. The first and shortest consists of one paragraph and sounds like this: “Let go of people who are not ready to love you. This is the most difficult and important thing you have to do in life. Stop conducting heavy conversations with people who do not want to change. Stop it with people who are not interested in your presence. ” For example, in the public “Book of Knowledge” on VKontakte, posts with this quote attributed to the actor have appeared from 2022 at least four times and scored more than 1.2 million views (here, here, here And here).
In the second version of the text there are already several paragraphs, it begins: “The most valuable thing you have is your time and energy, since both of these substances are limited. When you realize this, you begin to understand why you are so anxious, spending time with people who steal your energy. When you begin to fight for a joyful, interesting life, not everyone will be ready to follow you. This means that you need to release people who are not ready to accompany you. The truth is that you are not for everyone and not everything for you. ” Then the words given at the beginning of this analysis follow, and the statement ends with the following conclusion: “I know that your instinct is to do everything possible to get the recognition of others, but this is a rush that steals your time, energy, mental and physical health. There are people who should not be in your life. Make your life with a safe refuge in which you are only “compatible” people. You are not responsible for convincing people to become better. Not your work is to exist for people and give them their lives. Your only obligation is to realize that you are the master of your fate. You deserve true friendship, commitment and full love. ” This version of the quote has repeatedly posted the public “Way to itself ☼ self -knowledge” - at least six times in the amount of 80,000 views (here, here, here, here, here And here). Similar post in the community "The window is an amazing world. Awareness of reality»I received more than 70,000 views. Also, this option is popular in Telegram, Instagram* And Facebook*.
The third version of the quote is the most voluminous: the translation of several phrases is slightly different in it, and the location of the sentences is slightly changed. The full text can be found in the screenshot below. In this option, parting words under the authorship of Hopkins is published, for example, in public "Way to yourself ☼ Self -knowledge"(62,000 views) and"Film World: Castings, Actors, Directors, Producers"(25,000).
Since the authorship of this quote to Hopkins attributed and English -speaking users, in 2021 on it Turned Attention is a factor from the Snopes project. According to them, under the guise of thinking of an Oscar -winning actor, this text first appeared on the Internet approximately In September 2020. However, in the verified accounts of the artist in social networks (X, Instagram, Facebook) There are no records with a similar quote, it was not possible to find similar allegations in its many interviews. At the same time, in none of the posts with a disassembled statement it is not mentioned where and when Hopkins allegedly wrote or uttered such a parting words.
Snopes notes that the text itself appeared almost two years before its authorship began to be attributed to the British actor. As a factor found out, back in December 2018, a writer Brianna Wist Published an essay entitled “This year, let go of people who are not ready to love you” on the website of Though Catalog. IN profile The author indicates that, by agreement with this site, she first publishes her books and other works there.
On Though Catalog is really Placed The text of authorship of the Whist, which almost literally repeats the full viral quote attributed to Hopkins. At the same time, the date of publication is not indicated on the platform - it is only reported that the material was updated on April 17, 2024. However, six years earlier, judging by Archive copy, the same essay was available to readers, but it was called a little differently: "Next year, let go of people who are not ready to love you." Then it was indicated that the material was updated on December 13, 2018. Executive Director Though Catalog Noel Bims Confirmed “verified” that the text was posted on the site in 2018. In addition, its slightly edited version of the Whist in January 2023 also Published On your Instagram.
Thus, there is no evidence that Anthony Hopkins has ever pronounced the disassembled viral text. At least two years before this quote was attributed to the British actor, it was published in her blog American writer.
