knowing me, knowing you

"Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another? We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person's essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?" 
 
— Haruki Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle)

One thing I hate about Murakami is; He knows me better than I ever know myself and write feelings that I can't even verbalize.
