What Does This Mean To You?

   I know where I got it and what it means so I won't answer. You can
   cheat if you need to:

     [E]ven though I am one, I am not simply one, I have a self and I am
     related to this self as my own self. This self is by no means an
     illusion; it makes itself heard by talking to me-I talk to myself,
     I am not only aware of myself-and in this sense, though I am one, I
     am two-in-one and there can be harmony or disharmony with the self.
     If I disagree with other people, I can walk away; but I cannot walk
     away from myself. . . . [I]f I do wrong I am condemned to live
     together with a wrongdoer in an unbearable intimacy; I can never
     get rid of him.
