They cannot use cruelty to themselves without being cruel to their fellow-creatures; for, if by sin they are cruel to themselves, they are cruel to the souls of their neighbours, in that they do not give them an example of life… In being cruel to themselves, they are cruel to others.
Saint Catherine of Siena
