If I would let the person who speaks inside me out, he would tell you a different story than what you have seen all these years.

But the demons I have created inside me to guard beats me down and laughs at me, watching me bleed."

"You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet."
