“We all possess, like it or not, the people we know, and are possessed by them in turn.”
“Possessing what we still were unpossessed by,Possessed by what we now no more possessed.”
“What is it about possessing things? Why do we feel the need to own what we love? And why do we become such jerks when we do? We've all been there. You want something, you possess it - and by possessing it, you lose it. ”
“All that is great cannot be possessed - and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess.”
“We do not yet possess ourselves, and we know at the same time that we are much more.”
“No longer possessed by possessions, we may become open enough to become possessed by God.”
