I see you, and you see me. I experience you, and you experience me. I see your behaviour. You see my behaviour. But I do not and never have and never will see your experience of me. Just as you cannot "see" my experience of you.
-- Ronald David (R.D.) Laing (7 October 1927 - 23 August 1989), Scottish psychiatrist who wrote on mental illness and the experience of psychosis, The Politics of Experience (1967) Chapter 1 : Experience as evidence
