Introspective Quotes

Introspection is a devouring monster. You have to feed it with much material, much experience, many people, many places, many loves, many creations, and then it ceases feeding on you. Anais Nin
Introspection and preserved writings give us far more insight into the ways of past humans than we have into the ways of past dinosaurs. For that reason, I'm optimistic that we can eventually arrive at convincing explanations for these broadest patterns of human history. Jared Diamond
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "It is introspective, and I want to introspect."
It is introspective, and I want to introspect. Arthur Conan Doyle
Rita Rudner quote: "There are different kinds of humor, some is sarcastic, some..."
There are different kinds of humor, some is sarcastic, some introspective. Introspective fit my personality better. Rita Rudner
There were silences in my head. I could abandon myself completely to the pleasure of multiple relationships, to the beauty of the day, to the joys of the day. It was as if a cancer in me had ceased gnawing me. The cancer of introspection. Anais Nin
Nick Hornby quote: "One could argue that most of the trouble in the world is..."
One could argue that most of the trouble in the world is caused by introspection. Nick Hornby
Finally, she grew quiet. After that, coherent thought. With this, stalked through her a cold, bloody rage; Hours of this; a period of introspection; a space of retrospection; then a mixture of both. Out of this, an awful calm. Zora Neale Hurston
The inertia of the mind urges it to slide down the easy slope of imagination, rather than to climb the steep slope of introspection. Marcel Proust
I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between. Sylvia Plath
[in the true mad north] of introspection, where 'falcons of the inner eye'dive and die, glimpsing in their dying fall, all life's memory of existence. Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Athletes don’t have much use for poking around in their childhoods, because, introspection doesn’t get you anywhere in a race. Lance Armstrong
Anyone who is considered funny will tell you, sometimes without even your asking, that deep inside they are very serious, neurotic, introspective people. Wendy Wasserstein
The voices may propel you to warble along, or to dance, they may inspire you to seduction or insurrection or introspection or merely to watching a little less television. Jonathan Lethem
The study of thinking machines teaches us more about the brain than we can learn by introspective methods. Western man is externalizing himself in the form of gadgets. William S. Burroughs
Surely we all occasionally buy books because of a daydream we're having--a little fantasy about the people we might turn into one day, when our lives are different, quieter, more introspective, and when all the urgent reading, whatever that might be, has been done. We never arrive at that point, needless to say.... Nick Hornby
