-Mark Twain
Quotations
Self - Discovery
You might say that we use ourselves to discover ourselves.
-Judith Hanson Lasater
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"
If you don't get lost, there's a chance you may never be found.
-Anonymous
Man can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can starve from a lack of bread.
-Richard Wright
"Native Son"
Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
-Alexis Carrel
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"
Truth hurts - not the searching after; the running from!
-John Eyberg
There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.
-Josephine Hart
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
-Michelangelo
