You are who you are when nobody's watching.

And if no one sees you, are you really there at all?

Other people do not see you at all, but guess at you by uncertain conjectures.

Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking

إذا كنت لا ترى غير ما يكشف عنه الضوء ولا تسمع غير ما يُعلنُ عنه الصوت، فأنت في الحق لا تبصر ولا تسمع.

You see, but you do not observe.

"<i>There was once an invisible man who had grown tired of being unseen. It was not that he was <b>actually</b> invisible. It was that people had become used to not seeing him.

And if no one sees you, are you really there at all?"</i>

How do you know you're having fun if there's no one watching you have it?

You are not looking at anything; you are not in contact with anything living, as long as you use your thoughts to understand and experience anything.

When you're different, sometimes you don't see the millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the person who doesn't.

Because you are never here
but always there, I forget
not you but what you look like

You drift down the street
in the rain, your face
dissolving, changing shape, the colours
running together

My walls absorb
you, breathe you forth
again, you resume
yourself, I do not recognize you

You rest on the bed
watching me watching
you, we will never know
each other any better
than we do now

Look for what you notice
but no one else sees.

"How do you know that?"
"I followed you."
"I saw no one."
"That is what you may expect to see when I follow you."

In space no one can hear you scream; and in a black hole, no one can see you disappear.
