About Myself Quotes

I understood that I was inventing myself, and that I was doing this more in the way of a painter than in the way of a scientist. I could not count on precision or calculation; I could only count on intuition Picture Quote #1

I have no idea what to do with myself. And while I wait for my epiphany, I feel the toxins collecting in my body Picture Quote #1

... at last I understood that writing was this: an impulse to share with other people a feeling or truth that I myself had Picture Quote #1

I’m incapable of describing the feeling with which I left. I wouldn’t want it ever to be repeated, but I would have considered myself unfortunate if I’d never experienced it Picture Quote #1

I put my fingers around the unmarked ring of the spyglass and twisted. The scene became clear. Oh no! A hairy brown spider clung to a vine! I couldn’t go there! I’d go to the desert to find a dragon. I began to reset the spyglass, but then I stopped myself. A spider was worse than a dragon? No. My first monsters would be spiders, then Picture Quote #1

Some loves have to be given up, others have to be forgotten. Strange as it may sound, if you think of me as a monster, but I can love most passionately. I do not think of myself as evil Picture Quote #1

Sir if I was your daughter I would wait until this train started again and throw myself in front of it! Picture Quote #1

Instead, I quietly excused myself and went to the bar, to commune with spirits I know how to relate to Picture Quote #1

That meant I could come back whenever I could manage it. And she was telling me to go. She knew the decision was too big a load for me to carry by myself. She knew me through and through. She had eyes in the back of her heart Picture Quote #1

I feel myself shriveling along with my world, getting smaller and harder. I’m turning into a rock, and in some ways that’s good, because rocks last forever. But if this is how I’m going to last forever, then I don’t want to Picture Quote #1

And so I pray I am today as honest with myself, with life all around me and below and above me, with all who I encounter Picture Quote #1

Smarter than me. But here’s the thing my life did get better. I made a decision to let go of my dreams, because they were killing me, and I stopped asking the impossible of myself. I changed my attitude and decided to focus on what I had rather than what I didn’t have Picture Quote #1

I don’t crave companionship. It stands in my way. I live for pleasure. There are few persons who can give me as much pleasure as those acts I perform myself. I would rather create pleasure according to my own whim than be subjected to the whims of others Picture Quote #1

I told myself that some families we get without asking, while others we choose. And I chose those two. I think that’s what you’d call a silver lining Picture Quote #1

With a strength I can be proud of, I live only for myself, and only die for myself. I’ll never die for someone, cause I know the pain of who remains alive, this is my pride Picture Quote #1

I did not want to be anything, and naturally I did not want to turn myself into a mere profession: all I ever wanted was to be myself Picture Quote #1

I can’t even tell you what else I imagined. I can only humiliate myself to such a degree; at a certain point it becomes humorous, and this story is not meant to be humorous. This story is meant to winch your ribs open and tamper with your heart. This story is meant to make you realize that your chances of happiness in this world are terribly slim if you lack a fine imagination Picture Quote #1

I do all this alone, everything I achieve, I achieve alone, because it’s my head I’m locked into, and I share this space with nobody but myself Picture Quote #1

I ask myself: is every story that has ever been written in this world, a story of suffering and affliction? Picture Quote #1

I was afraid of looking into my heart... afraid of thinking seriously about anything... I did not want to know whether I was loved, and I did not want to admit to myself that I was not loved Picture Quote #1

Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something different... I claimed myself and remade my life. Only when I knew I belonged to myself completely did I become capable of giving myself to another, of finding joy in desire, pleasure in our love, power in this body no one else owns Picture Quote #1

Have you made any plans? Take an overdose, slash my wrists then hang myself. All those things together? It couldn’t possibly be misconstrued as a cry for help Picture Quote #1

A professionally trained actress should be a better liar, wouldn’t you think? But no. I am pathetically underachieved in that area. I can think of a great lie. I’m plenty imaginative. But before the words are even out of my mouth, there’s a weird tickle of unease in my armpits, a horsefly of guilt lands on the back of my neck, and before I can stop myself, that gassy little bubble of truth belches out Picture Quote #1

Forgiveness flounders because I exclude the enemy from the community of humans and myself from the community of sinners Picture Quote #1

I’m not really sure which parts of myself are real and which parts are things I’ve gotten from books Picture Quote #1

... This is the first time I have met someone who seeks out people and who sees beyond... We never look beyond our assumptions and, what’s worse, we have given up trying to meet others; we just meet ourselves. We don’t recognize each other because other people have become our permanent mirrors. If we actually realized this, if we were to become aware of the fact that we are alone in the wilderness, we would go crazy... As for me, I implore fate to give me the chance to see beyond myself and truly meet someone Picture Quote #1

As no two people see the world the same way, all trips from here to there are imaginary; all truth is a tale I am telling myself Picture Quote #1

It gives me strength to have somebody to fight for; I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill Picture Quote #1

Vintage books, old china, antiques; maybe I love old things so much because I feel impermanent myself Picture Quote #1

For some nights I slept profoundly; but still every morning I felt the same lassitude, and a languor weighed upon me all day. I felt myself a changed girl. A strange melancholy was stealing over me, a melancholy that I would not have interrupted. Dim thoughts of death began to open, and an idea that I was slowly sinking took gentle, and, somehow, not unwelcome possession of me. If it was sad, the tone of mind which this induced was also sweet. Whatever it might be, my soul acquiesced in it Picture Quote #1
