“Man is more complex than he seems. Every adult has in him not one but three distinct men. Take any man called John. In him there is John the First, that is the man he thinks he is; there’s John the Second, the man others think he is; and finally there’s John the Third, the man he really is.” (From the letter to Mark Twain).
