"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.

"Communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of Communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements"
"The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself"
