The most difficult secret for a man to keep is his own opinion of himself.
Man seeks to escape himself in myth, and does so by any means at his disposal. Drugs, alcohol, or lies. Unable to withdraw into himself, he disguises himself. Lies and inaccuracy give him a few moments of comfort.
There are things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind.
Man is not man, but a wolf to those he does not know.
A man is what he thinks about all day long.

A man is literally what he thinks.
A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
