I’m not a fan of self-loathing. I’ve done that
and concluded it’s not attractive. It doesn’t
get you where you want or need to be.

“Self-love, my liege, is not so vile
a sin as self-neglecting.”

Quotation from William Shakespeare, Henry V

“I hear, I know. I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.”

Saying attributed to Confucious
