Text #3620169

The bonds between ourselves and another person exist only in our minds. Memory as it grows fainter loosens them, and notwithstanding the illusion by which we want to be duped and with which, out of love, friendship, politeness, deference, duty, we dupe other people, we exist alone. Man is the creature who cannot escape from himself, who knows other people only in himself, and when he asserts the contrary, he is lying.

—from In Search of Lost Time, a book by Marcel Proust, translated by C.K. Scott Moncrieff and Terence Kilmartin
