“Sleeping on a dragon's hoard with greedy, dragonish thoughts in his heart, he had become a dragon himself.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the “Dawn Treader

 "It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others."

••Sydney J. Harris
