"Schopenhauer tells us of a colony of porcupines wont to huddle together...able neither to tolerate nor to do without one another, until they discovered that when they stood at a certain distance..they could delight in one another's individuality and enjoy one another's company. Unknown to themselves they'd invented civil association"

The other side of people
“We see but one aspect of our neighbor, as we see but one side of the moon: in either case there is also a dark half which is unknown to us.We all come down to dinner, but each has a room to himself.”
