"Your self is your mind;
renounce it and you become
a chunk of meat
ready for any
Cannibal to swallow."
"The self you have betrayed is your mind; self-esteem is reliance on one's power to think. The ego you seek, that essential "you" which you cannot express or define, is not your emotions or inarticulate dreams, but your intellect, that judge of your supreme tribunal whom you've impeached in order to drift at the mercy of any stray shyster you describe as your "feeling."
"A man's self is his mind - the faculty that perceives reality, forms judgments, chooses values."
"The most selfish of all things is the independent mind that recognizes no authority higher than its own and no value higher than its judgment of truth."
