A Quote by Marquise Magdeleine de Sablé on correction, deception, evil, existence, faults, good, love, and self-love

Self-love makes us deceive ourselves in almost all matters, to censure others, and to blame them for the same faults that we do not correct in ourselves; we do this either because we are unaware of the evil that exists within us, or because we always see our own evil disguised as a good.
