L'homme ne prend conscience de son être que dans les situations limites. [Autobiographie philosophique (1963)]

I should not suffer so deeply from lack of communication or find such unique pleasure in authentic communication if I for myself, in absolute solitude, could be certain of the truth. But I am only in conjunction with the Other, alone I am nothing.
