Funny how we take it for granted that we know all there is to know about another person, just because we see them frequently or because of some strong emotional tie.

About This Quote

The idea that we know all there is to know about another person is a completely false assumption. We might see someone every day, but we do not know everything about them. We might be very close because we share a bond through mutual feelings and emotions, but we cannot fully understand another person the way they understand themselves. The person you think you know may be completely different from the person you think you are.
