Quotations
Self - Discovery
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 know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of.
-Michel De Montaigne
The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.
-Richard Bach
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"
Truth hurts - not the searching after; the running from!
-John Eyberg
If you aren't sure who you are, you might as well work on who you want to be.
-Robert Brault
We catch frightful glimpses of ourselves in the hostile eyes of others.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Neurotic's Notebook"
The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.

Few people know so clearly what they want. Most people can't even think what to hope for when they throw a penny in a fountain.
-Barbara Kingsolver
