“All the devils in hell and tempters on earth could do us no injury if there were no corruption in our own natures.”
“We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.”
“Our words are giants when they do us an injury, and dwarfs when they do us a service.”
“Our schools kept from us, for as long as they could, the dangerous, disruptive, upsetting knowledge of our own female nature.”
“We all invite our own devils, and we must exorcise our own.”
“The people on the edge of Hell were most afraid of the devil; for those already in hell the devil was only another and no one in particular.”
