Quotes Myself (page 208)

Audrey Hepburn quote: "I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I..."
I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself. Audrey Hepburn
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning. Mahatma Gandhi
I see myself..in those pages as she goes back and forth, enjoying simply enjoying the beauties of the moments then chastising herself for having ‘no edge’ being simple and worse, harmless. Michael Cunningham
Killing myself was a matter of such indifference to me that I felt like waiting for a moment when it would make some difference. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Naguib Mahfouz quote: "I found myself in a sea in which the waves of joy and sorrow..."
I found myself in a sea in which the waves of joy and sorrow were clashing against each other. Naguib Mahfouz
The more I think about myself, the more I'm persuaded that, as a person, I really don't exist. That is one of the reasons why I can't believe in any orthodox religion: I cannot believe in my own soul. No, I am a chemical compound, conditioned by environment and education. My "character" is simply a repertoire of acquired tricks, my conversation a repertoire of adaptations and echoes, my "feelings" are dictated by purely physical, external stimuli. Christopher Isherwood
[When] he's here, he's always reading. He says books stop time. I myself think he's crazy...Don't tell anyone, but when he reads something that he likes he gets real happy, turns on the music, and dances by himself, or with a broom sometimes. Mark Helprin
How I will cherish you then, you grief-torn nights!Had I only received you, inconsolable sisters,on more abject knees, only buried myself with more abandon in your loosened hair. How we waste our afflictions!We study them, stare out beyond them into bleak continuance, hoping to glimpse some end. Whereas they're reallyour wintering foliage, our dark greens of meaning, oneof the... Rainer Maria Rilke
Oscar Wilde quote: "Suddenly I found myself face to face with the young man whose..."
Suddenly I found myself face to face with the young man whose personality had so strangely stirred me. Oscar Wilde
Again I see you, But me I don't see!, The magical mirror in which I saw myself has been broken, And only a piece of me I see in each fatal fragment - Only a piece of you and me!... Fernando Pessoa
The older I grow and the more I abandon myself to God's will, the less. I value intelligence that wants to know and will that wants to do; andas the only element of salvation I recognize faith, which can wait patiently, without asking too many questions. Umberto Eco
And if one loves me for my judgement, memory, he does not love me, for I can lose these qualities without losing myself. Where, then, is this Ego, if it be neither in the body nor in the soul? And how love the body or the soul, except for these qualities which do not constitute me, since they are perishable? For it is impossible and would be unjust to love the soul of a person in the abstract and whatever qualities might be therein. We never, then, love a person, but only qualities. Let us,... Blaise Pascal
When I examine my mind and try to discern clearly in the matter, I cannot satisfy myself that there are any such things as poetical ideas. No truth, it seems to me, is too precious, no observation too profound, and no sentiment too exalted to be expressed in prose. The utmost I could admit is that some ideas do, while others do not, lend themselves kindly to poetical expression; and that those receive from poetry an enhancement which glorifies and almost transfigures them, and which is not... A. E. Housman
Colin Farrell quote: "I'm not painting myself as a down-home, modest guy."
I'm not painting myself as a down-home, modest guy. Colin Farrell
Most of the memorable events I have myself been exercised in; and, for the satisfaction of the public, will briefly relate the circumstances of my adventures, and scenes of life, from my first movement to this country until this day. Daniel Boone
