... woke up and recognized himself and wished he had been someone he didn't know

 --- Tove Jansson, Moominvalley in November (Moomins, 8), Ch. 5

The first paragraph of Chapter 5, "Hemulen":

The Hemulen woke up and recognized himself and wished he had been someone he didn't know. He felt even tireder than when he went to bed, and here it was—another day which would go on until evening and then there would be another one and another one which would be the same as all days are when they are lived by a Hemulen.
