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"
In the end you don't so much find yourself as you find someone who knows who you are.
-Robert Brault
There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.
-Josephine Hart
No one remains quite what he was when he recognizes himself.
-Thomas Mann

-Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
"Notes from the Underground"
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"
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
Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.
-Robert Brault
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"
