Double-Consciousness

"Then it dawned on me with a certain suddenness that I was different from the others; or like, mayhap, in heart life and longing, but shut out from the world by a vast veil. I had thereafter no desire to tear down that veil, to creep through; I held all beyond it in common contempts, and lived above it in a region of blue sky and great wandering shadows."

From "Our Spiritual Strivings"
by W.E.B. Dubois
