Eventually, the mature person has come to the point where he is his own mother and his own father.  He has, as it were, a motherly and a fatherly conscience.  Motherly conscience says: 'There is no misdeed, no crime which could deprive you of my love, of my wish for your life and happiness.'  Fatherly conscience says: 'You did wrong, you cannot avoid accepting certain consequences of your wrongdoing, and most of all your must change your ways if I am to like you.'  The mature person has become free from the outside mother and father figures, and has built them up inside.'
