The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.
Soren Kierkegaard (2013). “The Wisdom of Kierkegaard”, p.213, Simon and Schuster
