"Flight to Arras"
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
-George Moore
Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.
-Robert Brault
In the end you don't so much find yourself as you find someone who knows who you are.
-Robert Brault
Man can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can starve from a lack of bread.
-Richard Wright
"Native Son"
No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.
-Thomas Mann
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.
The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.
-Ben Stein
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
I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.
-Mark Twain
