Text Quotes
The Southern whites are in many respects a great people. Looked at from a certain point of view, they are picturesque. If one will put oneself in a romantic frame of mind, one can admire their notions of chivalry and bravery and justice  (Oneself Quotes) It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself  (Oneself Quotes) I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone  (Oneself Quotes) There is only one real sin and that is to persuade oneself that the second best is anything but second best  (Oneself Quotes) When one has weighed the sun in the balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul?  (Oneself Quotes) When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving oneself, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance  (Oneself Quotes) The only thing one can do with good advice is pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself  (Oneself Quotes) The folly of mistaking a paradox for a discovery, a metaphor for a proof, a torrent of verbiage for a spring of capital truths, and oneself for an oracle, is inborn in us  (Oneself Quotes) Everyone writes in Tolstoy's shadow, whether one feels oneself to be Tolstoyan or not. His influence on the dissident writers of the Soviet Uniton was enormous. Figures like Grossman or Solzhenitsyn, although their language is less elevated, were dominated by a Tolstoyan desire to use fiction to tell the truth of history  (Oneself Quotes) To place oneself in the position of God is painful: being God is equivalent to being tortured. For being God means that one is in harmony with all that is, including the worst. The existence of the worst evils is unimaginable unless God willed them  (Oneself Quotes) I have never heard you complain: You promote me to be the future master of myself and the world, but you don't tell me how one is to be the master of oneself, and you don't tell me the mistakes in my thinking and my actions  (Oneself Quotes) It is blasphemy to separate oneself from the Earth and look down on it like a God. It is more than blasphemy, it is dangerous. We can never be gods, after all - but we can become something less than human with frightening ease  (Oneself Quotes) Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division, and from the antagonism between poor and rich, means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts  (Oneself Quotes) My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths  (Oneself Quotes) Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances  (Oneself Quotes) One does not kill oneself for love of a woman, but because love - any love - reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness  (Oneself Quotes) To desire and expect nothing for oneself and to have profound sympathy for others is genuine holiness  (Oneself Quotes) It is truly strange how long it takes to get to know oneself. I am now sixty two years old, yet just one moment ago I realised that I absolutely love lightly toasted bread. Simultaneously, I also realised that I loathe bread when it is heavily toasted. For almost sixty years, and quite unconsciously, I have been experiencing inner joy or total despair at my relationship with grilled bread  (Oneself Quotes) To do as one would be done by, and to love one's neighbour as oneself, constitute the ideal perfection of utilitarian morality  (Oneself Quotes) Relationships are never about power, and one way to avoid the will to power is to choose to limit oneself to serve  (Oneself Quotes) The seated lotus postures are an amazing way to go into meditation, or simply just to take a moment to ground oneself  (Oneself Quotes) I never really make solid resolutions. I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year  (Oneself Quotes) When you are not treated seriously, you develop comically. Its sense of oneself is so fractured and fragile that it's like the picked-on kid who has to become funny  (Oneself Quotes) There is only one real misfortune: to forfeit one's own good opinion of oneself. Lose your complacency, once betray your own self-contempt and the world will unhesitatingly endorse it  (Oneself Quotes) The true way is the middle one, halfway between deserving a place and pushing oneself into it  (Oneself Quotes) If to talk to oneself when alone is folly, it must be doubly unwise to listen to oneself in the presence of others  (Oneself Quotes) One can love a real woman after having loved her imagined counterpart. Similarly, one can adapt oneself to a society which, previously, one held in contempt  (Oneself Quotes) Accuracy is vexing to a crowd of would - be fantasizers. Hasn't our age coined the term escapism, when in fact the only way to escape oneself is to allow oneself to be invaded?  (Oneself Quotes) To read is to withdraw.To make oneself unavailable. One would feel easier about it if the pursuit inself were less... selfish  (Oneself Quotes) One can get just as much exultation in losing oneself in a little thing as in a big thing. It is nice to think how one can be recklessly lost in a daisy  (Oneself Quotes)
