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
Quotations
Self - Discovery
The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.
-Richard Bach
No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.
-Thomas Mann
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
-Nelson Mandela
Those who are brutally honest are seldom so with themselves.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Second Neurotic's Notebook"
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"
Knowing who you are is the best defense against who they think you are.
-Dodinsky
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"
I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of.
-Michel De Montaigne
By self-study, by observing, by being hollow and empty, you become a channel - you become a part of the Divine. You are able to feel the presence of Divinity. All the different angels and devas, all these different forms of our consciousness, start blossoming.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
