Unfathomable

….The idea that one person’s mind is accessible to another’s is just a conversational illusion, just a figure of speech, an assumption that makes some kind of exchange between basically alien creatures plausible, and that really the relationship of one person to another is ultimately unfathomable. The effort of fathoming what is in another’s mind creates a distortion of what is seen.”

Page 293, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert M Pirsig
