Experience, already reduced to a group of impressions, is ringed round for each one of us by that thick wall of personality through which no real voice has ever pierced on its way to us, or from us to that which we can only conjecture to be without.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the subjective nature of experience. It suggests that our experiences are confined within the boundaries of our own personalities, preventing us from fully understanding or connecting with others or the external world. Despite our impressions of reality, there is a barrier that separates us from truly comprehending what lies beyond our own perception. This reinforces the limitations and isolation inherent in our individual experiences.
