Text Quotes
Most human beings spend their lives battling with opposing inner forces: what they think they should do versus what they are doing; how they feel about themselves versus how they are; whether they think they’re right and worthy or wrong and unworthy. The separate self is just the conglomeration of these opposing forces. When the self drops away, inner division drops away with it (The Self Quotes)
The deepest hunger in life is a secret that is revealed only when a person is willing to unlock a hidden part of the self. In the ancient traditions of wisdom, this quest has been likened to diving for the most precious pearl in existence, a poetic way of saying that you have to swim far out beyond shallow waters, plunge deep into yourself, and search patiently until the pearl beyond price is found (The Self Quotes)
Man is spirit. But what is spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self? The self is a relation which relates itself to itself...

So regarded, man is not yet a self (The Self Quotes)
Though I leave the house as little as possible, I have the impression that someone is disturbing my papers. More than once I have discovered that some pages were missing from my manuscripts.

But often I no longer recognize my manuscripts, as if I had forgotten what I had written, or as if overnight I were so changed that no longer recognized myself in the self of yesterday (The Self Quotes)
Bacon’s portraits are an interrogation on the limits of the self. Up to what degree of distortion does an individual still remain himself? To what degree of distortion does a beloved person still remain a beloved person? For how long does a cherished face growing remote through illness, through madness, through hatred, through death still remain recognizable? Where is the border beyond which a self ceases to be a self? (The Self Quotes)
I didn’t want to have to deal with having any moniker or separation between the self that I see and know myself as (The Self Quotes)
The selfish thing about an athlete is you always look at the side of things where you say I could’ve done that better (The Self Quotes)
The idol of your self is the mother of all idols. To regard the self as easy to subdue is a mistake (The Self Quotes)
They who no longer believe in principles still proclaim them, to conceal, both from themselves and others, the selfishness of the motives by which they are dominated (The Self Quotes)
The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained to liberation from the self (The Self Quotes)
Reverence is the sense that there is something larger than the self, larger even than the human, to which one accords respect and awe and assent (The Self Quotes)
The selfish spirit of commerce knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain (The Self Quotes)
Far from the self succeeding increasingly in being itself, it becomes increasingly obvious that it is a hypothetical self (The Self Quotes)
The act of writing for the slave constituted the act of creating a public, historical self, not only the self of the individual author but also the self, as it were, of the race (The Self Quotes)
The selfishness that a woman has learned to stifle or to dissemble where she alone is concerned, blooms freely and unashamed on behalf of her offspring (The Self Quotes)
Some people say they haven’t yet found themselves. But the self is not something one finds; it is something one creates (The Self Quotes)
There’s a pang in all rejoicing, and a joy in the heart of pain; and the wind that saddens, the sea that gladdens, are singing the selfsame strain (The Self Quotes)
The self has the characteristic that it is an object to itself, and that characteristic distinguishes it from other objects and from the body (The Self Quotes)
I’ve always been fascinated with knowing the self. This fascination led me to submerge myself in art, study neuroscience, and later to become a psychotherapist (The Self Quotes)
The rigors of creativity - the self-doubt, the revising, the solitude - do require a kind of self-consumption. It comes at a cost; a cost that isn’t for everyone (The Self Quotes)
Today, for the first time - and the Obama campaign showed us this - we can go from the digital world, from the self-organizing power of networks, to the physical one (The Self Quotes)
The business of writing a novel is a long, meandering road into the self, into the imagination. And it’s a road the writer travels alone (The Self Quotes)
I was always drawn to the self-destructive kind of way. I thought there was something beautiful about it; I don’t know why (The Self Quotes)
What the neurology tells us is that the self consists of many components, and the notion of one unitary self may well be an illusion (The Self Quotes)
The organization and constant onward sweep of this movement exemplifies the resentment of the many toward the selfishness, greed and the neglect of the few (The Self Quotes)
Just as the human memory is not a passive recorder but a tool in the construction of the self, so history has never been a simple record of the past, but a means of shaping peoples (The Self Quotes)
But you learn to smother the living breathing soul, go deaf to it, and this violence to the self is what is commonly called sanity in the places where I have lived (The Self Quotes)
Impossible mountains are climbed by those who have the self confidence that comes from truly being loved (The Self Quotes)

History may be servitude. History may be freedom. See, now they vanish. The faces and places, with the self which, as it could, loved them, to become renewed, transfigured, in another pattern (The Self Quotes)
