Text Quotes
One can only really travel if one lets oneself go and takes what every place brings without trying to turn it into a healthy private pattern of one’s own and I suppose that is the difference between travel and tourism (Oneself Quotes)
Obsessional does not necessarily mean sexual obsession, not even obsession for this, or for that in particular; to be an obsessional means to find oneself caught in a mechanism, in a trap increasingly demanding and endless (Oneself Quotes)
One never comes into embarrassment, if one is ready to balance. To ask oneself never in embarrassment, what have you in these decades made (Oneself Quotes)
Coming out is a means of redefining oneself, of claiming membership in a lifestyle and a social order with distinct values. Chief among these values is honesty (Oneself Quotes)
Never let oneself be guided by the opinion of one’s contemporaries. Continue steadfastly on one’s way (Oneself Quotes)
To throw oneself to the side of the oppressed is the only dignified thing to do in life (Oneself Quotes)
One may speak about anything on earth with fire, with enthusiasm, with ecstasy, but one only speaks about oneself with avidity (Oneself Quotes)
No culture has yet solved the dilemma each has faced with the growth of a conscious mind: how to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in all life, when one finds darkness not only in one’s own culture but within oneself (Oneself Quotes)
To take something from a person and keep it for oneself: that is robbery. To take something from one person and then turn it over to another in exchange for as much money as you can get: that is business. Robbery is so much more stupid, since it is satisfied with a single, frequently dangerous profit; whereas in business it can be doubled without danger (Oneself Quotes)
The belief that there is only one truth and that oneself is in possession of it seems to me the deepest root of all evil that is in the world (Oneself Quotes)
Life is too short to occupy oneself with the slaying of the slain more than once (Oneself Quotes)
Happiness lies in conquering one’s enemies, in driving them in front of oneself, in taking their property, in savoring their despair, in outraging their wives and daughters (Oneself Quotes)
To be a gentleman is to be oneself, all of a seam, on camera and off (Oneself Quotes)
One didn’t really believe till one saw it demonstrated that giving oneself up completely to art, to emotion, to enjoyment, without planning for the future or counting the cost, produced dreadful disabilities and bankruptcies later (Oneself Quotes)
How desperately difficult it is to be honest with oneself. It is much easier to be honest with other people (Oneself Quotes)
Life is a series of diminishments. Each cessation of an activity either from choice or some other variety of infirmity is a death, a putting to final rest. Each loss, of friend or precious enemy, can be equated with the closing off of a room containing blocks of nerves and soon after the closing off the nerves atrophy and that part of oneself, in essence, drops away. The self is lightened, is held on earth by a gram less of mass and will (Oneself Quotes)
A college education should equip one to entertain three things: a friend, an idea and oneself (Oneself Quotes)
Courage is the capacity to conduct oneself with restraint in times of prosperity and with courage and tenacity when things do not go well (Oneself Quotes)
The true courage of civilized nations is readiness for sacrifice in the service of the state, so that the individual counts as only one amongst many. The important thing here is not personal mettle but aligning oneself with the universal (Oneself Quotes)
Change begins with understanding and understanding begins by identifying oneself with another person: in a word, empathy. The arts enable us to put ourselves in the minds, eyes, ears and hearts of other human beings (Oneself Quotes)
You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know (Oneself Quotes)
The intensity, glory, and absolute assuredness if my mind’s flight made it very difficult for me to believe once I was better, that the illness was one I should willingly give up... moods are such an essential part of the substance of life, of one’s notion of oneself, that even psychotic extremes in mood and behavior somehow can be seen as temporary, even understandable reactions to what life has dealt... even though the depressions that inevitably followed nearly cost me my life (Oneself Quotes)
In places where a loved one has died, time stops for eternity. If I stand on the very spot, one says to oneself, like a prayer, might I feel the pain he felt? They say that on a visit to an old castle or whatever, the history of the place, the presence of people who walked there many years ago, can be felt in the body. Before, when I heard things like that, I would think, what are they talking about? But I felt I understood it now (Oneself Quotes)
A journey may be long or short, but it must start at the very spot one finds oneself (Oneself Quotes)
I’ve lived so little that I tend to imagine I’m not going to die; it seems improbable that human existence can be reduced to so little; one imagines, in spite of oneself, that sooner or later something is bound to happen. A big mistake. A life can just as well be both empty and short. The days slip by indifferently, leaving neither trace nor memory; and then all of a sudden they stop (Oneself Quotes)
It is only through literature that one can put oneself in someone else’s shoes and understand the other’s different and contradictory sides and refrain from becoming too ruthless. Outside the sphere of literature only one aspect of individuals is revealed. But if you understand their different dimensions you cannot easily murder them (Oneself Quotes)
Most artists are brought to their vocation when their own nascent gifts are awakened by the work of a master. That is to say, most artists are converted to art by art itself. Finding one’s voice isn’t just an emptying and purifying oneself of the words of others but an adopting and embracing of filiations, communities, and discourses. Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced. Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos. Any artist knows these truths, no matter how deeply he or she submerges that knowing (Oneself Quotes)
The race is long. It is better to drive within oneself and finish the race behind the other than it is to drive too hard and crash (Oneself Quotes)
... Attempts at imitation would put the emphasis where it didn’t belong. The goal was to improve the lives of others, not oneself (Oneself Quotes)
Yes, it’s vital to make lifestyle choices to mitigate damage caused by being a member of industrialized civilization, but to assign primary responsibility to oneself, and to focus primarily on making oneself better, is an immense copout, an abrogation of responsibility (Oneself Quotes)
