I love playing ego and insecurity combined.
Jim CarreyThe greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.
Leonardo da VinciI realized, ‚Yo, I can’t do anything in moderation. I don’t know how.‘
EminemMusic should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.
Ludwig van BeethovenI can never say ‚why‘ about anything I do. I suppose I can say ‚how‘ and ‚when‘ and ‚what.‘ But ‚why‘ is impenetrable to me.
Paul AusterTrying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.
Alan WattsReally, who you are is defined by the people who you know – not even the people that you know, but the people you spend time with and the people that you love and the people that you work with. I guess we show your friends in your profile, but that’s kind of different from the information you put in your profile.
Mark ZuckerbergLeaders who fail to prune their pride will meet demise. That’s not a guess, it’s a guarantee. With pride, it’s not a matter of ‚if‘ we will fall, but ‚when.‘ There are no exceptions.
John C. MaxwellWe need to try to unite audiences, unite countries, join musical tastes, unite people.
Bad BunnyIt is in self-limitation that a master first shows himself.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.
Mahatma GandhiBitterness is cancer – it eats upon the host. It doesn’t do anything to the object of its displeasure.
Maya AngelouTo know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.
Bruce LeePeople become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.
George Bernard ShawHe who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.
Lao TzuSometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you’d never complete your life, would you? You’d never wholly know you.
Marilyn MonroeTrue self is non-self, the awareness that the self is made only of non-self elements. There’s no separation between self and other, and everything is interconnected. Once you are aware of that you are no longer caught in the idea that you are a separate entity.
Thich Nhat HanhWhenever I climb I am followed by a dog called ‚Ego‘.
Friedrich NietzscheOur greatest evils flow from ourselves.
Jean-Jacques RousseauWhen Clark Gable died, I cried for 2 days straight. I couldn’t eat or sleep.
Marilyn MonroeRemember that your imagination is yours and yours alone. You have the inborn capacity to use it in any way that you choose. No one else is responsible for your imagination. Anything placed in your imagination and held there ultimately becomes your reality.
Wayne DyerI don’t have any oratory skills. But I would not use them if I had.
Noam ChomskyThe best measure of a man’s honesty isn’t his income tax return. It’s the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.
Arthur C. ClarkeI tend to get bored quickly, which means I must be boring.
Anthony HopkinsWho you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI feel like I just grabbed a big juicy worm with a right sharp hook in the middle of it.
Lyndon B. JohnsonWhat lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThought must be divided against itself before it can come to any knowledge of itself.
Aldous HuxleyI ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.
Franklin D. RooseveltCompared to what we ought to be, we are half awake.
William JamesOne can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
George OrwellIt is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
Carl SaganI hate smiling. It makes me feel weak and powerless and small. I’ve always been like that; I don’t smile in any pictures.
Billie EilishThoughts are fine when you don’t confuse them with who you are, and then thoughts are not a problem. Thinking is a wonderful tool to create things in this world. It only becomes problematic and a source of suffering when you confuse thinking with who you are.
Eckhart TolleIf you start to think of your physical and moral condition, you usually find that you are sick.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheSometimes it’s a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.
David ByrneBeware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.
Charles SpurgeonA trifle consoles us, for a trifle distresses us.
Blaise PascalI’m not perfect.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerWhat I am looking for is not out there, it is in me.
Helen KellerIt is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.
William JamesThe world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.
Ernest HemingwayCreativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.
Steve JobsWhen your higher self is present, it always promotes peace.
Wayne DyerThe question of whether or not there is a God or truth or reality or whatever you like to call it, can never be answered by books, by priests, philosopher’s or saviours. Nobody and nothing can answer the question but you yourself, and that is why you must know yourself – Immaturity lies only in total ignorance of self.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiPeople do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIf you desire to be good, begin by believing that you are wicked.
EpictetusI think I am smart unless I am really, really in love, and then I am ridiculously stupid.
Taylor SwiftNone are more taken in by flattery than the proud, who wish to be the first and are not.
Baruch SpinozaStill and all, why bother? Here’s my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.
Kurt VonnegutI really believed that fear is contagious.
Joel OsteenIf every choice you make comes from an honest place, you’re solid, and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion.
Angelina JolieWell, all comedy starts with anger. You get angry, and its never for a good reason, right? You know its not a good reason. And then you try and work it from there.
Jerry SeinfeldIt is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
Henry David ThoreauMemories are thoughts that arise. They’re not realities. Only when you believe that they are real, then they have the power over you. But when you realize it’s just another thought arising about the past, then you can have a spacious relationship with that thought. The thought no longer has you in its grip.
Eckhart TolleI’ve lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate.
John SteinbeckImaginary evils soon become real one by indulging our reflections on them.
John RuskinAs I’m traveling around, I meet many small children. And when I look at a small and think how we’ve harmed this beautiful planet since I was that age, I feel a kind of desperation, anger, shame. I don’t know what I feel; I just don’t know what the emotion is.
Jane GoodallNo one was more shocked or angry than I was when we didn’t find the weapons. I had a sickening feeling every time I thought about it. I still do.
George W. BushThunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.
Mark Twain
