We all grasp on to a single idea of ourselves, the way aging people dye their hair. Itโs no matter that this dye doesnโt fool you. My lady, you donโt dye your hair to decieve other people, or to fool yourself, but rather to cheat your image in your mirror a little.
Luigi PirandelloOur 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.
