“To take refuge with an inferior is to betray one's self”

“The human race is unimportant. It is the self that must not be betrayed.""I suppose one could say that Hitler didn't betray his self.""You are right. He did not. But millions of Germans did betray their selves. That was the tragedy. Not that one man had the courage to be evil. But that millions had not the courage to be good.”

“In essence, you are neither inferior nor superior to anyone. True self-esteem and true humility arise out of that realization. In the eyes of the ego, self-esteem and humility are contradictory. In truth, they are one and the same.”

“He had such low self-esteem, he swam in Lake Inferior.”

“...the haunted always take refuge in stillness.”

“There is really nothing more to say-except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.”
