-Mark Twain
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
There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud.
-Carol Shields
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 order to find yourself you need to get lost in the forest of life.
-Mike Dolan
Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.
-Robert Brault
Truth hurts - not the searching after; the running from!
-John Eyberg
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"
Those who are brutally honest are seldom so with themselves.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Second Neurotic's Notebook"
You might say that we use ourselves to discover ourselves.
-Judith Hanson Lasater
