I wanted to escape from love, but didn't know how.

Live and die your own way, unnoticed.

The self is every person's true enemy.

In truth, it is I who have defiled myself, for one is one s own fiercest enemy.

But only those who have aims and ambitions for the benefit, not of the individual, but of humankind as a whole can persevere to the end.
