Edward Robert Hughes
"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"
