Somewhere, everywhere, now hidden, now apparent in what ever

Summary

This quote suggests that the essence of a human being can be found within the written word, present but sometimes concealed. It questions whether our pursuit to understand others through their writings is a frivolous endeavor or a worthwhile use of our time. It raises the idea that within the words and thoughts captured on paper, we have the opportunity to discover and connect with the true essence of a person.
