"It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense
of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's
soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity. One ever
feels his twoness ... two souls, two thoughts, two
unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one ... body, whose dogged
strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder."
-- W.E.B. DU BOIS, The
Souls of Black Folk (1903)
