At the same time, I require a relationship to myself that is not defined by the gaze of others, where I do not have the external relationship to myself that emerges because I observe myself in order to ensure that I appear to others as I want to appear. In solitude I achieve a more direct relationship to myself because it is not mediated by others' gaze. In solitude we escape the experience of being an object for another person. This constitutes a freedom from others. When you are alone, you therefore have the opportunity to escape relating to yourself in such a reflexive way.

"We must be bilingual even in a single language, we must have a minor language inside our own language, we must create a minor use of our own language…speaking in one's own language like a foreigner…That is the definition of style."
