It is not for me to judge another man's life. I must judge, I must choose, I must spurn, purely for myself. For myself, alone.
Hermann HesseTags: humility self judgement tolerance choices focus judgemental
Each of us is several, is man, is a profusion of selves. So that the self who disdains his surroundings is not the same as the self who suffers or takes joy in them. In the colony of our being there are many species of people who think and feel in different ways.
Pascal MercierTags: self contradiction
For everyone now strives most of all to seperate his person, wishing to experience the fullness of life within himself, and yet what comes of all his efforts is not the fullness of life, but full suicide, for instead of the fullness of self-definition, they fall into complete isolation.
Fyodor DostoevskyTags: philosophy self individualism
I myself am an absolute abyss.
Antonin ArtaudTags: self
The thought came over me that never would one full and absolute moment, containing all the others, justify my life, that all of my instants would be provisional phases, annihilators of the past turned to face the future, and that beyond the episodic, the present, the circumstantial, we were nobody.
Jorge Luis BorgesTags: time self provisionality
I lock my door upon myself,
And bar them out; but who shall wall
Self from myself, most loathed of all?
I suppose it had something to do with it being a secret, just how much it had meant to me. Maybe all of us at Hailsham had little secrets like that--little private nooks created out of thin air where we could go off alone with our fears and longings. But the very fact that we had such needs would have felt wrong to us at the time--like somehow we were letting the side down.

He had lived and acted on the assumption that he was alone, and now he saw that he had not been. What he had done made others suffer. No matter how much he would long for them to forget him, they would not be able to. His family was a part of him, not only in blood, but in spirit.

To be oneself, simply oneself, is so amazing and utterly unique an experience that it's hard to convince oneself so singular a thing happens to everybody.
Simone de BeauvoirTags: self personality uniqueness
Aku bukan Wahib. Aku adalah me-wahib. Aku mencari, dan terus menerus mencari, menuju dan menjadi Wahib. Ya, aku bukan aku. Aku adalah meng-aku, yang terus menerus berproses menjadi aku.
