and Pratchett's not original.

I don't do Latin but, ahem, "Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto". Tr. 'I am a man: nothing human is alien to me.'

Terence (c.190 - 159 BCE) in The Self-Tormentor, line 77.

I accept that a quotation is not a proof.

However, never have I come across a better way of making greater sense of others (mark, only, better) than by doing what so many won't do, exploring myself, with others as witnesses, sounding-boards, responders with integrity.

The more I went on, the more other people became more comrehensible.

I don't think we can come close to knowing another except by being them, which is impossible.
