“One of man's important mistakes, one which must be remembered, is his illusion in regard to his I. Man such as we know him, the 'man-machine,' the man who cannot 'do,' and with whom and through whom everything 'happens,' cannot have a permanent and single I. His I changes as quickly as his thoughts, feelings and moods, and he makes a profound mistake in considering himself always one and the same person; in reality he is always a different person, not the one he was a moment ago.” KnowsMenPersonsImportantDifferentMomentsFeelingsRealityHappensMistakeHe ManIllusionMachinesRegardProfoundMoodPermanentRememberedConsidering Author:G.
