"<p>Renounce nothing: for he that hath renounced is withered in that. But do not be a slave to your desires.<br />To cling to repressed passions is as bitter as to crumble among unleashed passions.<br />If you indulge your desires, they will mate and mate again. If you kill your desires, they come back as ghosts. If you tame your desires: you can ensnare them and plough and sow with dragons, like perfect power itself.<br />Most men, if they happen to catch sight of some monster of their own abyss, push it back into the gloom with horror; henceforth the monster is more-anxious and slowly cracks the wall. If you see one or other of your monsters, do not abhor it, nor be frightened, nor lie to yourself, but rather be glad that you have recognised it; take care of it, for it is easily tamed and becomes a good pet.<br />You have basically no good or bad qualities. Your well-groomed qualities are good; your cherished or neglected qualities are bad.</p>"
