Quotations
Self - Discovery
People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.
-Thomas Stephen Szasz
Truth hurts - not the searching after; the running from!
-John Eyberg
You might say that we use ourselves to discover ourselves.
-Judith Hanson Lasater
If you have known yourself, you have known everything else. Know that, by knowing which, you will know everything else. The Bible says, “Seek that kingdom within you.” Once you have found that, then everything else will be automatically added unto you; you don’t have to go looking for things outside; they will all come to you.
-Satchidananda Saraswati "Swami Satchidananda"
In the end you don't so much find yourself as you find someone who knows who you are.
-Robert Brault
No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.
-Thomas Mann
Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.
-Robert Brault
There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.
-Josephine Hart
A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.
-Antoine De Saint Exupéry
"Flight to Arras"
