“I am the truth, since I am part of what is real, but neither more nor less than those around me.”

“Since I am determined to join myself to God, I find that I am also bound to be the enemy of his enemies. And since I find nothing that is more his enemy than the self that is me, I am constrained to hate this part of me more than any other.”

“I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be, but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.”

“I am neither good, nor bad, neither angel nor devil, I am a man, I am a vampire.”

“These reasonings are unconnected: "I am richer than you, therefore I am better"; "I am more eloquent than you, therefore I am better." The connection is rather this: "I am richer than you, therefore my property is greater than yours;" "I am more eloquent than you, therefore my style is better than yours." But you, after all, are neither property nor style.”

“I am in a spot where I can neither be what I always am nor turn into what I could be.”
