Quote by Sergio Troncoso

“A narcissist with power will attempt to prove in the world only what is already in his head. He can't 'see' otherwise. For him, the 'outside world' is not beyond him and does not question or challenge him and his ideas. He is the world. Others will assent to his distorted worldview, because he is powerful, not because he is believable. If he possesses any reflection, that will be exactly what will gnaw at the narcissist with power most of all: his 'truths' are inauthentic, and he is a human being without integrity. The very narcissism and power he possesses prevent him from an ongoing relationship with the truth, which begins with self-humility and the curiosity this can create in a person.”

Але діло, звичайно, в тому, що цьому чоловікові та тій жінці образливі шопотіння двірників тому, що вони, по сути, опінією двірників дорожать і самі думають як двірники. ... — Ну, гіпнотизую, то що? Все життя людей — взаємний гіпноз. Не бійтеся, з шатена не зроблю вас білявим Можна загіпнотизувати до того, до чого є хоч найменьший нахил. Я ж, може, хочу загіпнотизувати вас до того (як що вам так хочеться називати), що є властиве кожній людині, — до почування життя.”

“But don't you see, I say, I don't care. I don't care what you've done or how bad you are. Edward, we belong together. We both know it. Now I know your worst secrets and you know mine. Isn't that what you've always wanted? For us to be completely honest with each other?”

“One day we will all stand alone and answer to God for the choices we have made in our lives. It will not be enough to say we did not get help because no one would come with us. Life is not easy, but we make it much more difficult when we refuse to be honest about what we feel. For the short term, not being honest may seem easier, but in the long haul, we pay a heavy price.”
