My Own Quotes

I tell myself it’s a virtue, my failure to sleep in my own house, or at all. I tell myself that I spend more hours than most people aware that I am alive, and that over a lifetime this adds up to more living, more aliveness. I am more alive than the rest of my family. Which is my greatest night fear. Which is why I hunt. I don’t ever want to be more alive than they are Picture Quote #1

I’ll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. It’s the silence that scares me. It’s the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment Picture Quote #1

If there’s one thing I don’t look for in a maid, it’s discretion. Except with my own secrets, of course Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t put on this earth to be housekeeper to my own child or to anyone else for that matter Picture Quote #1

I made clothes because I was looking for something that didn’t exist. I had to try to create my own world Picture Quote #1

I’ve created my own career in my life, and I’ve had a lot of fun doing it. I think that’s good Picture Quote #1

I can only speak for myself. But what I write and how I write is done in order to save my own life. And I mean that literally. For me literature is a way of knowing that I am not hallucinating, that whatever I feel/know is Picture Quote #1

I’m my own biggest marketing tool. I know the history of the business and I might as well capitalize on it Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a life of my own. I’ve put myself and my life at the service of the people. If necessity dictates I run, I run.. go to jail, I go to jail.. die, I die.My private aspirations are exactly the general aspirations of the people Picture Quote #1

If there is any good in life, in history, in my own past, I invoke it now. I invoke it with all the passion with which I have lived Picture Quote #1

I had already found that it was not good to be alone, and so I made companionship with what there was around me, sometimes with the universe and sometimes with my own insignificant self; but my books were always my friends, let fail all else Picture Quote #1

I succeeded in using my charms like a weapon; I learned to play with other’s hearts and to master my own desires Picture Quote #1

To return to my own trees, I went among them often, acknowledging their presence with a touch of my hand against their trunks Picture Quote #1

I was a wonderful parent before I had children. I was an expert on why everyone else was having problems with theirs. Then I had three of my own Picture Quote #1

Well, you put a little piece of yourself into every character that you do. Even if you’re playing some psychotic person, which of course I’m not, some part of you is in that character and it’s hopefully believable. I always come back to the fact that my own instinct is better than something I build in my mind Picture Quote #1

Through my own struggles with depression, I discovered that knowledge, therapy, medication and education can provide the strength to get through it in one piece Picture Quote #1

As a traveler, I’ve often found that the more a culture differs from my own, the more I am struck by its essential humanity Picture Quote #1

I don’t know where the idea originated that memoir writing is cathartic. For me, its always felt like playing my own neurosurgeon, sans anesthesia. As a memoirist, you have to crack your head open and examine every uncomfortable thing in there Picture Quote #1

I always stayed in tune with my own ambitions and attitudes and I’m still my intractable old self, for better or worse Picture Quote #1

I don’t want words that other people have invented. All the words are other people’s inventions. I want my own stuff, my own rhythm, and vowels and consonants too, matching the rhythm and all my own Picture Quote #1

Since the tapestry of all time has already been woven, everything I could ever want to happen in my life already exists in that infinite, nonphysical plane. My only task is to expand my earthly self enough to let it into this realm. So if there’s something I desire, the idea isn’t to go out and get it, but to expand my own consciousness to allow universal energy to bring it into my reality here Picture Quote #1

Mindfulness is attentiveness, moment to moment. What’s happening right now and what’s coming up in me in response to what’s happening right now. Importantly, this is in the service of being able to choose wisely so that I avoid complicating my own life and the lives of others Picture Quote #1

The more invested I am in my own ideas about reality, the more those experiences will feel like victimizations rather than the ups and downs of relating. Actually, I believe that the less I conceptualize things that way, the more likely it is that people will want to stay by me, because they will not feel burdened, consciously or unconsciously, by my projections, judgments, entitlements, or unrealistic expectations Picture Quote #1

For me words still possess their primitive, mystical, incantatory powers. I am inclined to use them as part of an attempt to make my own reality more real for others, as part of an effort to transcend emotional danger. For me, words are a form of action, capable of influencing change. Their articulation represents a complete, lived experience Picture Quote #1

The door available to everyone that can lead to happiness and success is the modest door of the public library. I found it to be so in my own life and work Picture Quote #1

I never thought I’d be successful. It seems in my own mind that in everything I’ve undertaken I’ve never quite made the mark. But I’ve always been able to put disappointments aside. Success isn’t about the end result; it’s about what you learn along the way Picture Quote #1

Experience is stronger than belief. Once we have experiences our mind begins to open. This works better than me forcing my own experience or knowledge onto anyone. Show them how to have their own experiences Picture Quote #1

I don’t think of myself as a role model for others, but I like to live my life by my own integrity. So, in that sense, I might be a positive influence. I do believe you should get over your insecurities and just try to be the best you can Picture Quote #1

The book, the idea of a book or the image of a book, is a symbol of learning, of transmitting knowledge.. I make my own books to find my way through the old stories Picture Quote #1
