#my

I do myself a greater injury in lying than I do him of whom I tell a lie. ↗

I quote others only in order the better to express myself. ↗

My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened. ↗

If ordinary people complain that I speak too much of myself, I complain that they do not even think of themselves. ↗

Not being able to govern events, I govern myself. ↗

I do not speak the minds of others except to speak my own mind better. ↗

I write to keep from going mad from the contradictions I find among mankind - and to work some of those contradictions out for myself. ↗

If a man urge me to tell wherefore I loved him, I feel it cannot be expressed but by answering: Because it was he, because it was myself. ↗

Maybe I'm secretly in my soul a method actor. ↗

I had an essence in my life that I was nothing. ↗
