Søren Kierkegaard
"Narcissists are unstable and go through repeated cycles of self-destruction, with other people usually paying the heft of the price. Narcissists tend to be divisive, vindictive, confrontational, aggressive, hate-filled, raging, incoherent, judgment-impaired, and irrational.

Sam Vaknin

Need little, want less, love more. For those who abide in love abide in God, and God in them.
Have a pleasant evening.
