Text Quotes
The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power (The Self Quotes)
The form most contradictory to human life that can appear among the human species is the self-satisfied man (The Self Quotes)
Perhaps well-to-do women and unemployed ghetto teenagers have something in common. Neither group has been allowed to develop the self-confidence that comes from knowing you can support yourselves (The Self Quotes)
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "where's the self-help section?" she said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose (The Self Quotes)
Government is only a necessary evil, like other go-carts and crutches. Our need of it shows exactly how far we are still children. All governing overmuch kills the self-help and energy of the governed (The Self Quotes)
To live in prison is to live without mirrors. To live without mirrors is to live without the self. She is living selflessly, she finds a hole in the stone wall and on the other side of the wall, a voice. The voice comes through darkness and has no face. This voice becomes her mirror (The Self Quotes)
I suppose everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you're older, I think, is that - how to express this - you really must make the self. It's absolutely useless to look for it, you won't find it, but it's possible in some sense to make it (The Self Quotes)
The creative writer uses his life as well as being its victim; he can control, in his work, the self-presentation that in actuality is at the mercy of a thousand accidents (The Self Quotes)
The guarantee that our self enjoys an intended relation to the outer world is most, if not all, we ask from religion. God is the self projected onto reality by our natural and necessary optimism. He is the not-me personified (The Self Quotes)
One of the strongest things I have had to wrestle with in my life is the significance of the longing for perfection in oneself and in the people bound to the self by friendship or parenthood or childhood (The Self Quotes)
The faith in an afterlife, however much our reason ridicules it, very modestly extends our faith that each moment of our consciousness will be followed by another - that a coherent matrix has been prepared for this precious self of ours. The guarantee that our self enjoys an intended relation to the outer world is most, if not all, of what we ask from religion. God is the self projected onto reality by our natural and necessary optimism. He is the not-me personified (The Self Quotes)
With our loss of the sense of majesty has come the further loss of religious awe and consciousness of the divine Presence. We have lost our spirit of worship and our ability to withdraw inwardly to meet God in adoring silence. Modern Christianity is simply not producing the kind of Christian who can appreciate or experience the life in the Spirit. The words, "Be still, and know that I am God, " mean next to nothing to the self-confident, bustling worshipper (The Self Quotes)
Displacement results in a tenuous relationship with the past, with the self that used to exist and operate in a different place, where the qualities that constituted us were in no need of negotiation. Immigration is an ontological crisis because you are forced to negotiate the conditions of your self-hood under perpetually changing existential circumstances (The Self Quotes)
To be specific, the self-sins are these: self-righteousness, self-pity, self-confidence, self-sufficiency, self-admiration, self-love and a host of others like them (The Self Quotes)
God must do everything for us. Our part is to yield and trust. We must confess, forsake, repudiate the self-life, and then reckon it crucified (The Self Quotes)
The death of the individual is not disconnection but simply withdrawal. The corpse is like a footprint or an echo - the dissolving trace of something which the Self has ceased to do (The Self Quotes)
It's in the act of having to do things that you don't want to that you learn something about moving past the self. Past the ego (The Self Quotes)
I cannot reach fulfillment without thou. The self cannot be self without other selves. Self concern without other concern is like a tributary that has no outward flow to the ocean (The Self Quotes)
There is no doubt that in exchanging a self centered for a selfless life we gain enormously in self esteem. The vanity of the selfless, even those who practice utmost humility, is boundless (The Self Quotes)
The self despisers are less intent on their own increase than on the diminution of others. Where self esteem is unobtainable, envy takes the place of greed (The Self Quotes)
The self styled intellectual who is impotent with pen and ink hungers to write history with sword and blood (The Self Quotes)
The permanent misfits can find salvation only in a complete separation from the self; and they usually find it by losing themselves in the compact collectivity of a mass movement (The Self Quotes)
The deeper the self realization of a man, the more he influences the whole universe by his subtle spiritual vibrations, and the less he himself is affected by the phenomenal flux (The Self Quotes)
You do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self created veil that hides him from you (The Self Quotes)
I stamp my feet and claim ignorance like a child, because its the color of my skin that says I'm supposed to know. I become the one who refuses to see the self (The Self Quotes)
The selfishness of an age that has devoted itself to the mere cult of pleasure has tainted the whole human race with an error that makes all our acts more or less lies against God (The Self Quotes)
But make the self grow? To fill free time with activities that require concentration, that increase skills, that lead to a development of the self, is not the same as killing time by watching (The Self Quotes)
The selfish heart deserves the pain it feels; more gen'rous sorrow, while it sinks, exalts, and conscious virtue mitigates the pang (The Self Quotes)
It belongs to the self-respect of intellect to pursue every tangle of thought to its final unravelment (The Self Quotes)
All suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their own happiness or satisfaction (The Self Quotes)
