“SELF-BETRAYAL is a sentimental melodrama; a deification of our own better judgment, an adoration of shame. I am always true to myself, that is the problem. Who else could I be true to? When I say that I have let myself down, I am boasting. I am the only person I cannot avoid being faithful to. My sexual relationship with myself, in other words, is a study in monogamy.” — Adam Phillips

When I say that I have let myself down, I am boasting. I am the only person I cannot avoid being faithful to. My sexual relationship with myself, in other words, is a study in monogamy.
