Text Quotes
A longing for excitement can be satisfied without external means within oneself: For creating is the most intense excitement one can come to know  (Oneself Quotes) One shouldn’t allow oneself to be intimidated by something that can be picked up and tucked under one’s arm  (Oneself Quotes) Part of the trick of being happy is a refusal to allow oneself to become too nostalgic for the heady triumphs of one’s youth  (Oneself Quotes) Discipline brings us effort, sacrifice and suffering. Later it brings us something of an inestimable value: something of which those who live only for pleasure, profit or amusement will always be deprived. This peculiar indefinable joy which one must have felt oneself to understand is the sign with which life marks its moment of triumph  (Oneself Quotes) To dance, above all, is to enter into the motions of life. It is an action, a movement, a process. The dance of life is not so much a metaphor as a fact; to dance is to know oneself alone and to celebrate it  (Oneself Quotes) To accpet the world as boring or accpet oneself as boring? Which is really more agreeable? There’s bound to be some amount of ambiguity and uncertainty  (Oneself Quotes) The essence of leadership is not giving things or even providing visions. It is offering oneself and one’s spirit  (Oneself Quotes) Empathy is forgetting oneself in the joys and sorrows of another, so much so that you actually feel that the joy or sorrow experienced by another is your own joy and sorrow. Empathy involves complete identification with another  (Oneself Quotes) Empathy is the capacity to think and feel oneself into the inner life of another person  (Oneself Quotes) The ability to imagine oneself in another’s place and understand the other’s feelings, desires, ideas, and actions. The most obvious example, perhaps, is that of the actor or singer who genuinely feels the part he is performing  (Oneself Quotes) Altruism itself depends on a recognition of the reality of other persons, and on the equivalent capacity to regard oneself as merely one individual among many  (Oneself Quotes) Leadership can be thought of as a capacity to define oneself to others in a way that clarifies and expands a vision of the future  (Oneself Quotes) One must not love oneself so much, as to avoid getting involved in the risks of life that history demands of us, and those that fend off danger will lose their lives  (Oneself Quotes) Prose is not to be read aloud but to oneself alone at night, and it is not quick as poetry but rather a gathering web of insinuations... Prose should be a long intimacy between strangers with no direct appeal to what both may have known. It should slowly appeal to feelings unexpressed, it should in the end draw tears out of the stone  (Oneself Quotes) It’s easy to hate and point out everything that is wrong with the world; it is the hardest and most important work in one’s life to free oneself from the bonds of fear and attachment  (Oneself Quotes) ... it’s the process of losing oneself in the jungle that makes science worth doing  (Oneself Quotes) In the past few years, I have made a thrilling discovery... that until one is over sixty, one can never really learn the secret of living. One can then begin to live, not simply with the intense part of oneself, but with one’s entire being  (Oneself Quotes) As a writer one is allowed to have conversations with oneself. What is considered sane in writers is made for the rest of the human race  (Oneself Quotes) If an artist wants to use his mind for creative work, cutting oneself off from society is a necessary thing  (Oneself Quotes) One does not deceive oneself about the consequences of one’s acts; one deceives oneself about the ease with which one can live with those consequences  (Oneself Quotes) If you are willing to take an instant to withdraw attention from whatever your internal dialogue is, to withdraw energy from whatever the latest point of view about your suffering is, it is immediately obvious what is here: the fullness, the richness and the love of oneself as conscious life  (Oneself Quotes) It is one thing to read about the world, but quite another to see and hear for oneself  (Oneself Quotes) Dinner alone is one of life’s pleasures. Certainly cooking for oneself reveals man at his weirdest. People lie when you ask them what they eat when they are alone. A salad, they tell you. But when you persist, they confess to peanut butter and bacon sandwiches deep fried and eaten with hot sauce, or spaghetti with butter and grape jam  (Oneself Quotes) Having a body that is like a musical instrument, open enough to be able to resonate, literally resonate with what is coming both from the inside and from the outside, so that one is able to surrender to powers greater than oneself  (Oneself Quotes) To love oneself is to love life. It is essential to understand that we make ourselves happy in making others happy  (Oneself Quotes) It does not seem possible to think of oneself as normal without thinking that some other kind of person is pathological  (Oneself Quotes) It is necessary to dig deep within oneself to discover the hidden grain of steel called will  (Oneself Quotes) Climbing is not a battle with the elements, nor against the law of gravity. It’s a battle against oneself  (Oneself Quotes) Given one has before oneself a strong, healthy, youth rich in spirited blood and a powerless, weak, cachectic old man scarcely capable of breathing. If now the physician wishes to practise the rejuvenating art on the latter, he should make silver tubes which fit into each other: open then the artery of the healthy person and introduce one of the tubes into it and fasten it into the artery; thereupon he opens also the artery of the ill person  (Oneself Quotes) Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it  (Oneself Quotes)
