Becoming Yourself Quotes (page 7)

Cheryl Strayed quote: "You have to say I am forgiven again and again until it becomes..."
You have to say I am forgiven again and again until it becomes the story you believe about yourself. Cheryl Strayed
Why do only the awful things become fads? I thought. Eye-rolling and Barbie and bread pudding. Why never chocolate cheesecake or thinking for yourself? Connie Willis
....a good book can teach you about the world and about yourself. You learn more than how to read better; you also learn more about life. You become wiser. Not just more knowledgeable - books that provide nothing but information can produce that result. But wiser, in the sense that you are more deeply aware of the great and enduring truths of human life. Mortimer Adler
At first, when an idea, a poem, or the desire to write takes hold of you, work is a pleasure, a delight, and your enthusiasm knows no bounds. But later on you work with difficulty, doggedly, desperately. For once you have committed yourself to a particular work, inspiration changes its form and becomes an obsession, like a love-affai? which haunts you night and day! Once at grips with a work, we must master it completely before we can recover our idleness. Natalie Clifford Barney
If I love you, I will carry for you all your pain, I will assume for you all your debts (in every definition of the word), I will protect you from your own insecurity, I will protect upon you all sorts of good qualities that you have never actually cultivated in yourself and I will buy Christmas presents for your entire family. I will give you the sun and the rain, and if they are not available, I will give you a sun check and a rain check. I will give you all this and more, until I get so... Elizabeth Gilbert
Orson Scott Card quote: "You’ve lost faith in yourself? Isn’t that rich? A god who’s..."
You’ve lost faith in yourself? Isn’t that rich? A god who’s become a self-atheist! Orson Scott Card
Terry Goodkind quote: "Others made you into who you were. You made yourself into what..."
Others made you into who you were. You made yourself into what you have become. Terry Goodkind
Jane Fonda quote: "If you allow yourself you can become stronger in the very..."
If you allow yourself you can become stronger in the very places that you've been broken. Jane Fonda
Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes. Annie Dillard
The years nineteen and twenty are a crucial stage in the maturation of character, and if you allow yourself to become warped when you're that age, it will cause you pain when you're older. Haruki Murakami
Quiet friend who has come so far, feel how your breathing makes more space around you. Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell. As you ring, what batters you becomes your strength. Move back and forth into the change. What is it like, such intensity of pain? If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine. In this uncontainable night, be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses, the meaning discovered there. And if the world has ceased to hear you, say to the silent earth: I... Rainer Maria Rilke
Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you. Friedrich Nietzsche
Do not sleep under a roof. Carry no money or food. Go alone to places frightening to the common brand of men. Become a criminal of purpose. Be put in jail, and extricate yourself by your own wisdom. Miyamoto Musashi
Speed. O jest unseen, inscrutable, invisible, As a nose on a man's face, or a weathercock on a steeple! My master sues to her, and she hath taught her suitor, He being her pupil, to become her tutor. O excellent device! was there ever heard a better, That my master, being scribe, to himself should write the letter? Valentine. How now, sir? what are you reasoning with yourself? Speed. Nay, I was rhyming: 'tis you that have the reason. William Shakespeare
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame; how..."
you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame; how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes? Friedrich Nietzsche
