"The Second Neurotic's Notebook"
There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.
-Josephine Hart
If you have known yourself, you have known everything else. Know that, by knowing which, you will know everything else.

-Satchidananda Saraswati "Swami Satchidananda"
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.
