I Am Who I Am Quotes (page 18)

I am not yours, nor lost in you,not lost, although I long to be.Lost as a candle lit at noon,lost as a snowflake in the sea. You love me, and I find you still a spirit beautiful and bright, yet I am I, who long to belost as a light is lost in light. Sara Teasdale
But will anyone again look at that tree, read that poem, love a dog in quite my way? I am a particular and, despite the commonness of all people, a unique person in the way I perceive and think and appreciate, and I am sad that this particularity shall before too long be gone. This is not arrogance; it is the simple truth, known to anyone who has loved a person dead in the fullness of her life: what we miss is the particularity, that unique voice. [pp. 184-185] Carolyn Gold Heilbrun
A being who, as I grew older, lost imagination, emotion, a type of intelligence, a way of feeling things - all that which, while it made me sorry, did not horrify me. But what am I experiencing when I read myself as if I were someone else? On which bank am I standing if I see myself in the depths? Fernando Pessoa
Do you remember the sight we saw, my soul, that soft summer morning round a turning in the path, the disgusting carcass on a bed scattered with stones, its legs in the air like a woman in need burning its wedding poisons like a fountain with its rhythmic sobs, I could hear it clearly flowing with a long murmuring sound, but I touch my body in vain to find the wound. I am the vampire of my own heart, one of the great outcasts condemned to eternal laughter who can no longer smile. Am I dead? I... Charles Baudelaire
Why am I trying to become what I don’t want to be … when all I want is out there, waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am. Arthur Miller
Jane Austen quote: "Ms. Bennett, do you know who I am? I am not accustomed to..."
Ms. Bennett, do you know who I am? I am not accustomed to being spoken to in such a manner. Jane Austen
What I am in search of is not so much the gratification of a curiosity or a passion for worldly life, but something far less conditional. I do not wish to go out into the world with an insurance policy in my pocket guaranteeing my return in the event of a disappointment, like some cautious traveller who would be content with a brief glimpse of the world. On the contrary, I desire that there should be hazards, difficulties and dangers to face; I am hungry for reality, for tasks and deeds, and... Herman Hesse
Elizabeth Barrett Browning quote: "I am one who could have forgotten the plague, listening to..."
I am one who could have forgotten the plague, listening to Boccaccio's stories; and I am not ashamed of it. Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I am afraid of getting older … I am afraid of getting married. Spare me from cooking three meals a day—spare me from the relentless cage of routine and rote. I want to be free…. I want, I want to think, to be omniscient…. I think I would like to call myself ‘The girl who wanted to be God. Sylvia Plath
Erich Fromm quote: "if i am what i have, and i lose what i have, who then am i?"
if i am what i have, and i lose what i have, who then am i? Erich Fromm
I love you, Allie. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, every day we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. And, my darling, you will always be mine. Nicholas Sparks
David Herbert Lawrence quote: "Nobody knows you. You don't know yourself. And I, who am half..."
Nobody knows you. You don't know yourself. And I, who am half in love with you, What am I in love with? My own imaginings? David Herbert Lawrence
Learned Hand quote: "Here I am an old man in a long nightgown making muffled noises..."
Here I am an old man in a long nightgown making muffled noises at people who may be no worse than I am. Learned Hand
It takes two or three generations to do what I tried to do in one; and my impulses--affections--vices perhaps they should be called-- were too strong not to hamper a man without advantages; who should be as cold-blooded as a fish and as selfish as a pig to have a really good chance of being one of his country's worthies. You may ridicule me--I am quite willing that you should-- I am a fit subject, no doubt. But I think if you knew what I have gone through these last few years you would rather... Thomas Hardy
I am not concerned with the moron, the ordinary hairless ape, who takes everything in his stride; his only childhood memory is of a mule that bit him; his only consciousness of the future a vision of board and bed. What I am thinking of is the man of imagination and science, whose courage is infinite because his curiosity surpasses his courage. Vladimir Nabokov
