"You can live a lifetime and, at the end of it, know more about other people than you know about yourself. You learn to watch other people, but you never watch yourself because you strive against loneliness...Being alone for even so short a time as a night and a day, irrevocably alone, with nothing to observe but...your own hands in the semi-darkness, nothing to contemplate but the size of your small courage, nothing to wonder about but the beliefs, the faces and the hopes rooted in your mind–such an experience can be as startling as the first awareness of a stranger walking by your side at night. You are the stranger."
(West with the night, Beryl Markham)
