Most people can accept the truth only in the form of a lie  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) There is no possibility of remembering what has been found and understood, and later repeating it to oneself. It disappears as a dream disappears. Perhaps it is all nothing but a dream  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Man is confronted with two obvious facts: The existence of the world in which he lives; and the existence of psychic life in himself.  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Ideas by themselves cannot produce change of being; your effort must go in the right direction, and one must correspond to the other.  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Philosophy is based on speculation, on logic, on thought, on the synthesis of what we know and on the analysis of what we do not know. Philosophy must include within its confines the whole content of science, religion and art  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) If a man gives way to all his desires, or panders to them, there will be no inner struggle in him, no ‘friction,’ no fire. But if, for the sake of attaining a definite aim, he struggles with desires that hinder him, he will then create a fire which will gradually transform his inner world into a single whole  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Understanding is always the understanding of a smaller problem in relation to a bigger problem  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Man is confronted with two obvious facts: The existence of the world in which he lives; and the existence of psychic life in himself  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Attaining consciousness is connected with the gradual liberation from mechanicalness, for man is fully and completely under mechanical laws  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) If you want to remember yourself, the best thing is not to think about yourself. As long as you think about yourself, you will not remember yourself  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Psychology is sometimes called a new science. This is quite wrong. Psychology is, perhaps, the oldest science, and, unfortunately, in its most essential features a forgotten science  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Ideas by themselves cannot produce change of being; your effort must go in the right direction, and one must correspond to the other  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) The number of laws is constantly growing in all countries and, owing to this, what is called crime is very often not a crime at all, for it contains no element of violence or harm  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) I mean that you always know what results will come from one or another of your actions; but in a strange way you want to do one thing and get the result that could only come from another  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) There is something in us that keeps us where we find ourselves. I think this is the most awful thing of all  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) A man can be given only what he can use; and he can use only that for which he has sacrificed something  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) When a man begins to know himself a little he will see in himself many things that are bound to horrify him. So long as a man is not horrified at himself he knows nothing about himself  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) One cannot keep all the old views and opinions and acquire new ones  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Effort plus motive equals result  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) People live in sleep, do everything in sleep, and do not know they are asleep  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) It is by overcoming obstacles that man develops those qualities he needs  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) The strangest and most fantastic fact about negative emotions is that people actually worship them  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) A religion contradicting science and a science contradicting religion are equally false  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) The greatest barrier to consciousness is the belief that one is already conscious  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Possibly the most interesting first impression of my life came from the world of dreams  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Love is the eternally burning fire in which humanity and all the world are being purified  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) The most difficult thing is to know what we do know, and what we do not know  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) Desire is when you do what you want, will is when you can do what you do not want  (PD Ouspensky Quotes) There is no tyranny more ferocious than the tyranny of morality. Everything is sacrificed to it  (PD Ouspensky Quotes)
