Quote: Every man is an island. The universe splits off a million million times each millisecond, and each of us carries a private universe around with him wherever he goes. Where the universes intersect, that’s when we think we encounter other people and we think they are our friends and our parents and the people we love. But we never really know them because we never cross from our little bubble of reality into theirs. When we part company with a friend, we can never know how alien the world he inhabits is from ours. We can never know.
