Quotations
Self - Discovery
I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of.
-Michel De Montaigne
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"
We catch frightful glimpses of ourselves in the hostile eyes of others.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Neurotic's Notebook"
You necessarily have to be lost, before you’re found.
-T. Scott McLeod

Better to start up a thousand wrong roads than to spend your life going nowhere because you know the way.

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
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"
A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
