“If one doesn't respect oneself one can have neither love nor respect for others.”
“One could only damage oneself through the harm one did to others. One could never get directly at oneself.”
“Judging oneself to be inferior to other people was one of the worst acts of pride because it was the most destructive way of being different.”
“Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.”
“One says the things which one feels the need to say, and which the other will not understand: one speaks for oneself alone.”
