When a Man Begins to Know Himself a Little...


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"
