“Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you.
You must travel it by yourself.
It is not far. It is within reach.
Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know.
Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.”

“But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you ambush yourself in caverns and forests.”

Friedrich Nietzsche book Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Source: Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The Way of the Creator.
Context: But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you ambush yourself in caverns and forests. You solitary one, you go the way to yourself! And your way leads you past yourself and your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself, and a sorcerer and a soothsayer, and a fool, and a doubter, and a reprobate, and a villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame; how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes!
