"Notes from the Underground"
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"
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
The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.
-Ben Stein
Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.

Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
-Alexis Carrel
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"
There is deep wisdom within our very flesh, if we can only come to our senses and feel it.
-Elizabeth A. Behnke
