Text Quotes
To be rich is to give; to give nothing is to be poor; to live is to love; to love nothing is to be dead; to be happy is to devote oneself; to exist only for oneself is to damn oneself, and to exile oneself to hell (Oneself Quotes)
Pride is an established conviction of one’s own paramount worth in some particular respect, while vanity is the desire of rousing such a conviction in others, and it is generally accompanied by the secret hope of ultimately coming to the same conviction oneself. Pride works from within; it is the direct appreciation of oneself. Vanity is the desire to arrive at this appreciation indirectly, from without (Oneself Quotes)
What is hard work? It takes strength, energy, and stress to truly care about others enough to place oneself last, but it is easy to wrap oneself up and selfishly scramble on the heads of others (Oneself Quotes)
It’s a matter of pride to me to get the film done fast, to get it done well. I understand the need for compromise. There is no such thing as a perfect shot, a perfect film. The purpose of film is not to make a monument to oneself (Oneself Quotes)
The voice does go up in a poem. It is an address, even if it is to oneself (Oneself Quotes)
If you desire to know or learn anything to your advantage, then take delight in being unknown and unregarded. A true understanding and humble estimate of oneself is the highest and most valuable of all lessons (Oneself Quotes)
To take no account of oneself, but always to think well and highly of others is the highest wisdom and perfection (Oneself Quotes)
Not thinking about anything is zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the buddha... Using the mind to reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation (Oneself Quotes)
The hero’s will is not that of his ancestors nor of his society, but his own. This will to be oneself is heroism (Oneself Quotes)
One must never have spared oneself, one must have acquired hardness as a habit to be cheerful and in good spirits in the midst of nothing but hard truths (Oneself Quotes)
Life is one long struggle to disinter oneself, to keep one’s head above the accumulations, the ever deepening layers of objects... which attempt to cover one over, steadily, almost irresistibly, like falling snow (Oneself Quotes)
It is essential... that discipline should not be practised like a rule imposed on oneself from the outside, but that it becomes an expression of one’s own will; that it is felt as pleasant, and that one slowly accustoms oneself to a kind of behaviour which one would eventually miss, if one stopped practising it (Oneself Quotes)
Keep braiding one’s wavelengths back into oneself. That way they gain all the more external power and surround us with a huge affective and protective zone. Don’t talk about this. Never talk about our secret methods. If we talk about them, they stop working (Oneself Quotes)
I realized that one cannot reveal oneself without mannerism, without some evident trace of one’s personality. But all the same one should not go too far in that direction (Oneself Quotes)
Painting, especially much better than words, allows oneself to express the various stages of thought, including the deeper levels, the underground stages of the mental process (Oneself Quotes)
There are essential and inessential insanities... Inessential insanities get one in trouble with oneself. Essential insanities get one in trouble with others. It’s always preferable to be in trouble with others. In fact, it may be essential (Oneself Quotes)
Spiritual life and secure life do not go together; to save oneself on must struggle and take risks (Oneself Quotes)
One has to taste an experience for oneself and find out if the thing is genuine or helpful. Then, before discarding something, one has to go further, so that one gets firsthand experience (Oneself Quotes)
Our path is sometimes rough and sometimes smooth; nonetheless, life is a constant journey... whatever we do is regarded as our journey, our path. That path consists of opening oneself to the road, opening oneself to the steps we are about to take (Oneself Quotes)
One’s art is just one’s effort to wed oneself to the universe, to unify oneself through union (Oneself Quotes)
One must see one’s model correctly and experience it in the right way; and furthermore express oneself forcibly and with distinction (Oneself Quotes)
Concerning all acts of initiative there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too (Oneself Quotes)
Everywhere in the modern world there is neglect, the need to be recognized, which is not satisfied. Art is a way of recognizing oneself, which is why it will always be modern (Oneself Quotes)
To obsess too virulently is to walk alone in anxiety. But to obsess too little is to wall oneself off from one’s own creativity (Oneself Quotes)
A legislator must know how to take advantage of even the defects of those he wants to govern. The art consists in making others work rather than in wearing oneself out (Oneself Quotes)
The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of contemporary violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to violence. The frenzy of our activity neutralizes our work for peace. It destroys our own inner capacity for peace. It destroys the fruitfulness of our own work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful (Oneself Quotes)
The real purpose of the martial arts must be to purge oneself of petty ambitions and desire, to obtain control of one’s own character (Oneself Quotes)
How is it that some celebrities, whom the average person would believe to have all the popularity a human being could want, still admit to feeling lonely? It is quite naive to assume that popularity is the remedy for loneliness. Loneliness does not necessarily equal physical solitude, it is the inability to be oneself and rightfully represented as oneself (Oneself Quotes)
I have always thought of poems as stepping stones in one’s own sense of oneself (Oneself Quotes)
What use do I put my soul to? It is a serviceable question this, and should frequently be put to oneself. How does my ruling part stand affected? And whose soul have I now? That of a child, or a young man, or a feeble woman, or of a tyrant, of cattle or wild beasts (Oneself Quotes)
