Person erscheint, indem sie zu andern Personen in Beziehung tritt.

How a person seems to show up for us is intimately connected to how we choose to show up for them.

Appearances are a glimpse of the unseen.

A person is a person through other persons; you can't be human in isolation; you are human only in relationships.

When we encounter another individual truly as a person, not as an object for use, we become fully human

APPEARER (APPE'ARER) n.s.[from To appear.]The person that appears. That owls and ravens are ominous appearers, and presignify unlucky events, was an augurial conception.Brown’sVul. Err.

There is a relation between persons and role. But the relationship answers to the interactive system—to the frame—in which the role is performed and the self of the performer is glimpsed. Self, then, is not an entity half-concealed behind events, but a changeable formula for managing oneself during them. Just as the current situation prescribes the official guise behind which we will conceal ourselves, so it provides where and how we will show through, the culture itself prescribing what sort of entity we must believe ourselves to be in order to have something to show through in this manner.

People are felt rather than seen after the first few moments.

Through others, we become ourselves.

every interaction with another human being is a possible gateway to some new world or experience, which could, in turn, introduce you to the love of your life.

We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.

In all aspects of life, we take on a part and an appearance to seem to be what we wish to be — and thus the world is merely composed of actors.

every individual will develop relations to other persons, to domains of accomplishment, and to his or her self.
