" When a man begins to know himself a little
he will see in himself many things that are bound to horrify him.
So long as a man is not horrified at himself
he knows nothing about himself.
If a man gives way to all his desires,
or panders to them,
there will be no inner struggle in him, no 'friction,' no fire.
But if, for the sake of attaining a definite aim,
he struggles with the desires that hinder him,
he will then create a fire
which will gradually transform his inner world into a single whole"
~P. D. Ouspensky
