Marcel Proust

“But then, even in the most insignificant details of our daily life, none of us can be said to constitute a material whole, which is identical for everyone, and need only be turned up like a page in an account-book or the record of a will; our social personality is a creation of the thoughts of other people. Even the simple act which we describe as “seeing someone we know” is to some extent an intellectual process.”

Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time, Vol. 1: Swann's Way & Within a Budding Grove, Part 1
