"I think we all have to fight the werewolf within us somehow"
- William Kempe
About this Quote
William Kempe's quote speaks to the idea that all of us have a darker side to our characters that we must confront and overcome. This "werewolf within us" is a metaphor for our inner demons, the unfavorable thoughts and impulses that can lead us astray. It is up to us to acknowledge these darker elements of ourselves and to actively combat versus them. We should make every effort to be our finest selves and to make decisions that remain in line with our values and objectives. It is just through this procedure of self-reflection and self-improvement that we can truly become our best selves. By acknowledging and challenging our inner werewolf, we can become more aware of our own strengths and weak points and utilize them to our benefit.
"In fact men will fight for a superstition quite as quickly as for a living truth - often more so, since a superstition is so intangible you cannot get at it to refute it, but truth is a point of view, and so is changeable"
