Himself Quotes (page 64)

Bullshit," Salander said again. "Gottfried isn't the only kid who was ever mistreated. That doesn't give him the right to murder women. He made that choice himself. And the same is true of Martin. Steig Larsson
He loved to saunter through fields of wild oats and corn-flowers, and busied himself with clouds nearly as much as with events. Victor Hugo
In reality every reader is, while he is reading, the reader of his own self. The writer's work is merely a kind of optical instrument which he offers to the reader to enable him to discern what, without this book, he would perhaps never have perceived in himself. Marcel Proust
He(God) wants servants who can finally become sons. We want to suck in, He wants to give out. We are empty and would be filled; He is full and flows over. Our war aim is a world in which Our Father Below has drawn all other beings into himself; the Enemy (God) wants a world full of beings united to Him but still distinct. C. S. Lewis
It had grown cold in the night but he was numb with other weathers. An equinox in the heart, ill change, unluck. Suttree held his face in his hands. Child of darkness and familiar of small dooms. He himself used to wake in terror to find whole congregations of the uninvited attending his bed, protean figures slouched among the room's dark corners in all multiplicity of shapes, gibbons and gargoyles, arachnoids of outrageous size, a batshaped creature hung by some cunning in a high corner from... Cormac McCarthy
Man's desire for the approval of his fellows is so strong, his dread of their censure so violent, that he himself has brought his enemy within his gates; and it keeps watch over him, vigilant always in the interests of its master to crush any half-formed desire to break away from the herd. W. Somerset Maugham
Sometimes Dustfinger thought Basta's constant fear of curses and sudden disaster probably arose from his terror of the darkness within himself, which made him assume that the rest of the world must be exactly the same. Cornelia Funke
W. G. Sebald quote: "Dr K. relishes the pleasures (but only, as he notes himself,..."
Dr K. relishes the pleasures (but only, as he notes himself, the pleasures) of being declassed. W. G. Sebald
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "In solitude the solitary man consumes himself, in the crowd..."
In solitude the solitary man consumes himself, in the crowd the crowd consumes him. Friedrich Nietzsche
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "he sometimes felt himself to be a painfully prosaic person,..."
...he sometimes felt himself to be a painfully prosaic person, but by the same token he knew he was incurably sane. Gilbert K. Chesterton
But I have so little of any of these things! You are wise and powerful. Will you not take the Ring?"No!" cried Gandalf, springing to his feet. "With that power I should have power too great and terrible. And over me the Ring would gain a power still greater and more deadly." His eyes flashed and his face was lit as by a fire within. "Do not tempt me! For I do not wish to become like the Dark Lord himself. Yet the way of the Ring to my heart is by pity, pity for weakness and the desire of... J. R. R. Tolkien
Mark Twain quote: "One mustn't criticize other people on grounds where he can't..."
One mustn't criticize other people on grounds where he can't stand perpendicular himself Mark Twain
At these repeated signs of decadence in a society which had once been the object of his envy and his highest ambition, Webber's face had begun to take on a look of scorn...Yes, all these people looked at one another with untelling eyes. Their speech was casual, quick, and witty. But they did not say the things they knew. And they knew everything. They had seen everything. They had accepted everything. And they received every new intelligence now with a cynical and amused look in their... Thomas Wolfe
The only thing to seek in contemplative prayer is God; and we seek Him successfully when we realize that we cannot find Him unless He shows Himself to us, and yet at the same time that He would not have inspired us to seek Him unless we had already found Him. Thomas Merton
The artist who is too sensitive for contacts with the non-artistic world is thereby too sensitive for his vocation, and fit only to fall into gentle ecstasies over the work of artists less sensitive than himself. Arnold Bennett
