I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to the passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality, and it all comes from lying continually to others and to himself.

"Today we'll do something funny: Try taking one step back out of yourself, and observe yourself from a distance. You should now slowly come to realize that both the observer and the observed is technically you. If you managed to get this far, you may also want to theorize about the distance between yourself and yourself also being yourself. If you succeeded, congratulations! Lastly, you could try to analyse the parts that make up this distance."
