“The ending can only start with the beginning and end with self estrangement, as to become once again his own/old self. This is why every man is a continuous ending. ”
“Once you become self-conscious, there is no end to it; once you start to doubt, there is no room for anything else.”
“Every ending is a new beginning. Through the grace of God, we can always start again. (Page 120.)”
“Man—every man—is an end in himself, not a means to the ends of others; he must live for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself; he must work for his rational self-interest, with the achievement of his own happiness as the highest moral purpose of his life.”
“Justice and injustice indeed begins and ends with the self.”
“Faith in the self-attesting Christ of Scripture is the beginning, not the end result of wisdom.”
