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
I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of.
-Michel De Montaigne
Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
-Alexis Carrel

-Antoine De Saint Exupéry
"Flight to Arras"

-Robert Brault
Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.
-Michelangelo
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
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"
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"
