Text Quotes
The self is also a creation, the principal work of your life, the crafting of which makes everyone an artist (The Self Quotes)
We can afford to exercise the self-restraint of a really great nation which realizes its own strength and scorns to misuse it (The Self Quotes)
There's a fine line between thinking about somebody and thinking about not thinking about somebody, but I have the patience and the self-control to walk that line for hours - days, if I have to (The Self Quotes)
We do not step out of the world when we pray; we merely see the world in a different setting. The self is not the hub but the spoke of the revolving wheel. It is precisely the function of prayer to shift the center of living from self consciousness to self surrender (The Self Quotes)
This insinuation of the interests of the self into even the most ideal enterprises and most universal objectives, envisaged in moments of highest rationality, makes hypocrisy an inevitable by product of all virtuous endeavor (The Self Quotes)
The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else. He learns to see himself, but suddenly, provided he was honest, all the rest appears, and it is as rich as he was, and, as a final crowning, richer (The Self Quotes)
A self that is only differentiated - not integrated - may attain great individual accomplishments, but risks being mired in self-centered egotism. By the same token, a person who self is based exclusively on integration will be well connected and secure, but lack autonomous individuality. Only when a person invests equal amounts of psychic energy in these two processes and avoids both selfishness and conformity is the self likely to reflect complexity (The Self Quotes)
Why should we fear; and what? The laws? They all are armed in virtue's cause; and aiming at the self-same end, satire is always virtue's friend (The Self Quotes)
The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation (The Self Quotes)
The selfish man suffers more from his selfishness than he from whom that selfishness withholds some important benefit (The Self Quotes)
The rude reproaches of the rascal herd for the selfsame actions, if successful, would be as grossly lavish in their praise (The Self Quotes)
The True Self is not our creation, but God's. It is the self we are in our depths. It is our capacity for divinity and transcendence (The Self Quotes)
Said the self-righteous preacher, what, in your judgment, is the greatest sin in the world? That of the person who sees other human beings as sinners, said the master (The Self Quotes)
Life is short. Time is fleeting. Realize the self. Purity of the heart is the gateway to God. Aspire. Renounce. Meditate. Be good; do good. Be kind; be compassionate. Inquire, know thyself (The Self Quotes)
This is the secret of life: the self lives only by dying, finds its identity (and its happiness) only by self-forgetfulness, self-giving, self-sacrifice, and agape love (The Self Quotes)
People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates (The Self Quotes)
One ship drives East, and one drives West, by the selfsame wind that blows; it’s the set of the sails, and not the gales, which determines the way it goes (The Self Quotes)
One ship sails east, another west, by the self-same winds that blow. It isn’t the gales, it’s the set of the sails, that determines the way we go (The Self Quotes)
When two persons do the self-same thing, it oftentimes falls out that in the one it is criminal, in the other it is not so; not that the thing itself is different, but he who does it (The Self Quotes)
For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression (The Self Quotes)
Obedience is detachment from the self. This is the most radical detachment of all. But what is the self? The self is the principle of reason and responsibility in us. It is the root of freedom, it is what makes us men (The Self Quotes)
The self is an oral society in which the present is constantly running a dialogue with the past and the future inside of one skin (The Self Quotes)
The self thus becomes aware of itself, at least in its practical action, and discovers itself as a cause among other causes and as an object subject to the same laws as other objects (The Self Quotes)
Desire then is the invasion of the whole self by the wish, which, as it invades, sets going more and more of the psychical processes; but at the same time, so long as it remains desire, does not succeed in getting possession of the self (The Self Quotes)
You can mark in desire the rising of the tide, as the appetite more and more invades the personality, appealing, as it does, not merely to the sensory side of the self, but to its ideal components as well (The Self Quotes)
Perhaps the strongest evidence that women have as broad and deep a capacity for physical aggression as men is anecdotal. And as with men, this capacity has expressed itself in acts from the brave to the brutal, the selfless to the senseless (The Self Quotes)
The material world has only been constructed at the price of taking the self, that is, mind, out of it, removing it; mind is not part of it (The Self Quotes)
Without a sense of place the work is often reduced to a cry of voices in empty rooms, a literature of the self, at its best poetic music; at its worst a thin gruel of the ego (The Self Quotes)
The emancipation of women is practically the greatest egoistic movement of the nineteenth century, and the most intense affirmation of the right of the self that history has yet seen (The Self Quotes)
The function of literature, through all its mutations, has been to make us aware of the particularity of selves, and the high authority of the self in its quarrel with its society and its culture. Literature is in that sense subversive (The Self Quotes)
