We Think We Understand Each Other, But We Never Really Do.

There Is Someone Who Is Living My Life. And I Know Nothing About Him.

Shake Yourself Free From The Manikin You Create Out Of A False Interpretation Of What You Do And What You Feel, And You'll At Once See That The Manikin You Make Yourself Is Nothing At All Like What You Really Are Or What You Really Can Be!

Our Spirits Have Their Own Private Way Of Understanding Each Other, Of Becoming Intimate, While Our External Persons Are Still Trapped In The Commerce Of Ordinary Words, In The Slavery Of Social Rules. Souls Have Their Own Needs And Their Own Ambitions, Which The Body Ignores When It Sees That It's Impossible To Satisfy Them Or Achieve Them.

Man Never Reasons So Much And Becomes So Introspective As When He Suffers; Since He Is Anxious To Get At The Cause Of His Sufferings, To Learn Who Has Produced Them, And Whether It Is Just Or Unjust That He Should Have To Bear Them.
