Quotes / His Own Worst Enemy

"So I sit and wait and wonder
Does anyone else feel like me?
Someone so tired of their routines
And dissapearing self-esteems
I'll sing along
Yeah with every emergency
Just sing along
I'm the king of catastrophes
I'm so far gone
That deep down inside I think it's fine by me
That I'm my own worst enemy"

— Less Than Jake, "The Science of Selling Yourself Short"

Let's review.
You took a rumor a few, maybe two people knew
And refuted by sharing an affair of which no has accused you.
I begged you to take a break, you refused to!
So scared of what your enemies will do to you
But you're the only enemy you ever seem to lose to.
You know why Jefferson can do what he wants?
He doesn't dignify schoolyard taunts with a response.

— Angelica, Hamilton, "Congratulations" (deleted song)

"It's no surprise to me
I am my own worst enemy
'Cus every now and then
I beat the living shit out of me"

—Lit, "My Own Worst Enemy"

"Everything with you is about time, isn't it? The past, the present, the future — you know all of it, right? And you know everything about me! About Joe! About Wally. And Iris! You know our strengths. You know our fears. You know how much we love each other. And you know how to use that love against us. All this time we thought that we couldn't stop you because you were one step ahead, but that's not it! You don't just know what's gonna happen to us. You were there. You lived it. You remember... when you were me."

— Barry Allen, realising who the Season 3 Big Bad really is, The Flash (2014)

"Would be easier to fight someone else
Than the war I fight within
It's impossible to hide from yourself
Where do I begin?
Every time I dare to dream, it wakes me
Wakes me with a cry
Every time I dare to love, it hates me
Hates me 'til it dies"

— Molly Sandén, "Freak"

"And so I sent some men to fight
And one came back at dead of night
Said he'd seen my enemy
Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself, and here I go."

— James Blunt, "Same Mistake"

"Choke, choke again
I thought my demons were my friends
Pity me in the end
They're out to get me..."

—Korn, "Coming Undone"

There is no curse or evil spell
That's worse than one we give ourselves
There is no sorcerer as cruel
As the proud, angry fool.

— Rigoletto, The Curse

"If someone talked to you
The way you do to you
I'd put their teeth through
Love yourself!"

—IDLES, "Television"

"Why do men instinctively pull at loose threads on their parachutes?"

—Harlan Thrombey, Knives Out

Drowning in fakey freak
Feelin'-a tired and weak
Does this horrendous clown
Really have my act down?
Copying me just makes
Folks suffer my mistakes
Wait, yes-a! That's the key!
No one hurts me… like… ME!
