sounds like something Sartre would write, dolefully existentialist.
Life is an illusion. We live alone and die alone.

The quote is saying that when men tell themselves that no man is an island, they are deluding themselves.
everyone's an island. anything you feel for someone is all in your mind, anything you think they feel for you is an illusion that you let settle over you. at the end of the day, everyone's alone (and no one has a real friend, as pink floyd might observe)

basically its saying ,you exist in anothers mind thats as real as it will get for the man in his mind,if he believes otherwise he is lying to himself,i think it was spinosa who said i think i am there for i am.

it means most of the relationships we make are fairly tenuous.
We call people 'friend' but much of the time that word is a platitude rather than anything meaningful.

It's true that our love stays strong when the memories the relationship are vivid.

I don't know the context of your quote but it maybe referring to existential nihilism.
