Quotations
Self - Discovery
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
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"
Never mind searching for who you are. Search for the person you aspire to be.
-Robert Brault
A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.
-Antoine De Saint Exupéry

-Richard Bach
We catch frightful glimpses of ourselves in the hostile eyes of others.
-Mignon McLaughlin
"The Neurotic's Notebook"
I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of.
-Michel De Montaigne
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.

In order to find yourself you need to get lost in the forest of life.
