Text Quotes
All resistance is a rupture with what is. And every rupture begins, for those engaged in it, through a rupture with oneself (Oneself Quotes)
Literature offers the thrill of minds of great clarity wrestling with the endless problems and delights of being human. To engage with them is to engage with oneself, and the lasting rewards are not confined to specific career paths (Oneself Quotes)
It is not easy to convey, unless one has experienced it, the dramatic feeling of sudden enlightenment that floods the mind when the right idea finally clicks into place. One immediately sees how many previously puzzling facts are neatly explained by the new hypothesis. One could kick oneself for not having the idea earlier, it now seems so obvious. Yet before, everything was in a fog (Oneself Quotes)
To find a mountain path all by oneself gives a greater feeling of strength than to take a path that is shown (Oneself Quotes)
The true birthplace is that wherein for the first time one looks intelligently upon oneself; my first homelands have been books, and to a lesser degree schools (Oneself Quotes)
Anxiety and desire are two, often conflicting, orientations to the unknown. Both are tilted toward the future. Desire implies a willingness, or a need, to engage this unknown, while anxiety suggests a fear of it. Desire takes one out of oneself, into the possibility or relationship, but it also takes one deeper into oneself. Anxiety turns one back on oneself, but only onto the self that is already known (Oneself Quotes)
It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel with oneself was occasionally fruitful and always, she had to admit, interesting (Oneself Quotes)
The only thing that makes one an artist is making art. And that requires the precise opposite of hanging out; a deeply lonely and unglamorous task of tolerating oneself long enough to push something out (Oneself Quotes)
Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing (Oneself Quotes)
Writing poetry is talking to oneself; yet it is a mode of talking to oneself in which the self disappears; and the product’s something that, though it may not be for everybody, is about everybody (Oneself Quotes)
It is best as one grows older to strip oneself of possessions, to shed oneself downward like a tree, to be almost wholly earth before one dies (Oneself Quotes)
To affirm is not to bear, carry, or harness oneself to that which exists, but on the contrary to unburden, unharness, and set free that which lives (Oneself Quotes)
To read is to surrender oneself to an endless displacement of curiosity and desire from one sentence to another, from one action to another, from one level of a text to another. The text unveils itself before us, but never allows itself to be possessed; and instead of trying to possess it we should take pleasure in its teasing (Oneself Quotes)
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 (Oneself Quotes)
One must not live one’s life through men but must be complete on oneself as a woman of substance (Oneself Quotes)
To engage in a battle, one must know oneself, believe in oneself, and overcome one’s own obstacle (Oneself Quotes)
When there is suffering, we look for a reason. That reason is easiest found within oneself (Oneself Quotes)
At night, lying on your back and staring at the falling snow, it’s easy to imagine oneself soaring through the stars (Oneself Quotes)
To become imperceptible oneself, to have dismantled love in order to become capable of loving. To have dismantled one’s self in order finally to be alone and meet the true double at the other end of the line. A clandestine passenger on a motionless voyage. To become like everybody else; but this, precisely, is a becoming only for one who knows how to be nobody, to no longer be anybody. To paint oneself gray on gray (Oneself Quotes)
Freedom is the right to choose: the right to create for oneself the alternatives of choice. Without the possibility of choice and the exercise of choice a man is not a man but a member, an instrument, a thing (Oneself Quotes)
Human contribution is the essential ingredient. It is only in the giving of oneself to others that we truly live (Oneself Quotes)
One of the things I like about my profession, and that I find healthy, is that one constantly has to break oneself to pieces (Oneself Quotes)
Your manner of life now is already determining your life in those years of old age and retirement, without your realizing it even, and perhaps without your giving enough thought to it. One must therefore prepare oneself for retirement (Oneself Quotes)
To work effectively as an agent of change in a pluralistic society, it is necessary to be able to connect with people different from oneself (Oneself Quotes)
To bring oneself to a frame of mind and to the proper energy to accomplish things that require plain hard work continuously is the one big battle that everyone has. When this battle is won for all time, then everything is easy (Oneself Quotes)
In order to be happy oneself it is necessary to make at least one other person happy (Oneself Quotes)
This ability to conquer oneself is no doubt the most precious of all things sports bestows (Oneself Quotes)
It is one of the triumphs of human wit... to conquer by humility and submissiveness... to make oneself small in order to appear great... such... are often the expedients of the neurotic (Oneself Quotes)
To have passed through life and never experienced solitude is to have never known oneself. To have never known oneself is to have never known anyone (Oneself Quotes)
God is the only one who knows how many children we should have, and we should be ready to accept them. One can’t decide for oneself who comes into this world and who doesn’t. That decision doesn’t belong to us (Oneself Quotes)
