“...we have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its roots in us.

We know ourselves chiefly by hearsay.”

Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself.”
