“We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell”
Oscar Wilde
“"I went to Japan not thinking I was coming back...I got on that plane, and I packed real light. I was so addicted to self-destruction, I think more than the drugs, there's something very romantic about it. I didn't pack anything. I packed show clothes...I thought I was gonna die. I thought I wasn't coming back.”
Gerard Way
“No Blame: The most liberating & empowering day of my life was the day I freed myself from my own self-destructive nonsense.”
Steve Maraboli
“Self-esteem is different than conceit. Conceit is the weirdest disease in the world. It makes everyone sick except the one who has it.”
