- "But does a man owe nothing to himself?"
- "Nothing that I know of. I am under no obligation to myself. How can I divide myself and say the one half of me is indebted to the other? To my mind, it is a mere fiction of speech."
- "But [from where], then, [does] such a fiction [come]?"
- "From the dim sense of a real obligation, I suspect - the object of which is mistaken. I suspect it really springs from our relation to the unknown God, so vaguely felt that a false form is readily accepted for its embodiment..."
- George MacDonald
