“you can’t compare yourself with others: if nature has made you a bat you shouldn’t try to be an ostrich. you consider yourself odd at times, you accuse yourself of taking a road different from most people. you have to unlearn that. gaze into the fire, into the clouds, & as soon as the inner voices begin to speak, surrender to them, don’t ask first whether it’s permitted or would please your teachers or father, or some god. you will ruin yourself if you do that.”
