We Must Strive For Freedom If We Strive For Self-knowledge. The Task Of Self-knowledge And Of Further Self-development Is Of Such Importance And Seriousness, It Demands Such Intensity Of Effort, That To Attempt It Any Old Way And Amongst Other Things Is Impossible.

Man Has No Individual 'i'. But There Are, Instead, Hundreds And Thousands Of Separate Small 'i's, Very Often Entirely Unknown To One Another, Never Coming Into Contact, Or, On The Contrary, Hostile To Each Other, Mutually Exclusive And Incompatible. Each Minute, Each Moment, Man Is Saying Or Thinking, 'i'. And Each Time His 'i' Is Different. Just Now It Was A Thought, Now It Is A Desire, Now A Sensation, Now Another Thought, And So On, Endlessly. Man Is A Plurality. Man's Name Is Legion.
