“We all invite our own devils, and we must exorcise our own.”
“We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell.”
“We are our own devils; we drive ourselves out of our Edens.”
“If we are not our own, but the Lord's, it is clear to what purpose all our deeds must be directed. We are not our own, therefore neither our reason nor our will should guide us in our thoughts and actions. We are not our own, therefore we should not seek what is only expedient to the flesh. We are not our own, therefore let us forget ourselves and our own interests in as far as possible.”
“We are our own dragons and our own heroes. We must rescue ourselves from ourselves.”
“We must be our own before we can be another's.”
