How can I know for sure if it's my son speaking and not you?"" You never can, my lord. Just as no man can ever be sure that he alone is a thinking and feeling creature and everyone else a machine that only pretends to feel and think.

Paul Hoffman
About This Quote

No man can be sure if it is his son speaking or someone else pretending to be his son. The human race has become so complicated that many times people are not sure who they are talking to. Disguises are everywhere and you never know if someone is who he says he is.
