The same outer object may suggest either of many realities formerly associated with it—for in the vicissitudes of our outer experience we are constantly liable to meet the same thing in the midst of differing companions.

William James,


The Principles of Psychology


Whatever I thought right seemed bad to others;


whatever seemed wrong to me,


others approved of.


I ran into feuds wherever I found myself,


I met disfavor wherever I went;


if I longed for happiness, I only stirred up misery;


so I had to be called “Woeful”:


Woe is all I possess.

Wagner,


Die Walküre
