Repost from Lacquer

If we greatly transform ourselves, those friends of ours who have not been transformed become ghosts of our past: their voice comes across to us like the voice of a shade--as though we were hearing ourself, only younger, more severe, less mature.

--Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human

I really like this quote posted by lacquer. I think that it says a lot to people who find themselves changed, which we all feel.
