Quotations
Self - Discovery
In the end you don't so much find yourself as you find someone who knows who you are.
-Robert Brault
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"
You necessarily have to be lost, before you’re found.
-T. Scott McLeod
"All That Is Unspoken"
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
There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud.
-Carol Shields
You might say that we use ourselves to discover ourselves.
-Judith Hanson Lasater
If you don't get lost, there's a chance you may never be found.
-Anonymous
Your distress about life might mean you have been living for the wrong reason, not that you have no reason for living.
-Tom O'connor
But there are other things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind.
-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
"Notes from the Underground"
