It is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence, – that which makes its truth, its meaning – its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream – alone.
Joseph Conrad,
Heart of Darkness

I picked it off the top 100 list at Project Gutenberg a few months ago. Just now getting around to reading it.

I have meant to read this for years now. Seems a very stark quote. Feels very true but also very sad.
