"Projecting yourself until everything is talking about you is, of course, a self-flattering form of self-pity"

Previous Quote

When one has come to accept a certain course as duty he has a pleasant sense of relief and of lifted responsibility, even if the course involves pain and renunciation. It is like obedience to some external authority; any clear way, though it lead to death, is mentally preferable to the tangle of uncertainty.

— Charles Horton Cooley
