“We are our own devils; we drive ourselves out of our Edens.”
“We all invite our own devils, and we must exorcise our own.”
“By engaging in a delusive quest for happiness, we bring only suffering upon ourselves. In our frantic search for something to quench our thirst, we overlook the water all around us and drive ourselves into exile from our own lives. ”
“We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.”
“We are not our own any more than what we possess is our own. We did not make ourselves, we cannot be supreme over ourselves. We are not our own masters.”
“We are our own dragons and our own heroes. We must rescue ourselves from ourselves.”
