TWO FACE Quotes

“When the self is under attack, no matter whether the self is insecure or not, the ego is the first to respond. If the response is not to respond, in other words if there is an inward reply, then the reply comes from the ego, and the ego begins to expand commensurate to the threat. The longer this secret dialogue continues between the external and a man’s interior world, the more the ego swells, balloons, until it begins to engulf the whole self.”
― Nick van der Leek, TWO FACE: OBLIVION
