everyone is the other, and no one is himself

.

The spiritual world is one single spirit who stands like unto a light behind the bodily world and who, when any single creature comes into being, shines through it as through a window. According to the kind and size of the window, less or more light enters the world.


—Aziz Nasafi

.

Everyone is the other, and no one is himself.

The they, which supplies the answer to the who of everyday Dasein (existence), is the nobody to whom every Dasein has always already surrendered itself, in its being-among-one-another.


—Martin Heidegger
Being and Time
Joan Stambaugh version

.

Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. 

It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.

—Rabindranath Tagore
