Most of the time, we live outside ourselves; we only perceive the colourless phantom of ourselves.… We live for the external world rather than for ourselves. We speak rather than think; we are acted upon rather than acting ourselves. To act freely is to retake possession of oneself.… It is to place oneself back in pure duration.
