IV The bounded is loathed by its possessor. The same dull round even of a universe would soon become a mill with complicated wheels. V If the many become the same as the few, when possess'd, More! More! is the cry of a mistaken soul, less than All cannot satisfy Man. VI If any could desire what he is incapable of possessing, despair must be his eternal lot.

'oh god' Lou poured herself a vodka. ↗
Believe in yourself. Under-confidence leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy that you are not good enough for your work. ↗
