A Quote by Nicolas Cage

Tattoos to me are the outward symbol of the inward change within my soul. — © Nicolas Cage
Tattoos to me are the outward symbol of the inward change within my soul.
The city is the image of the soul, the surrounding walls being the frontier between the outward and inward life. The gates are the faculties or senses connecting the life of the soul with the outward world. Living springs of water rise within it. And in the centre, where beats the heart, stands the holy sanctuary.
Beloved Pan and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the outward and the inward man be one.
Give me beauty in the inward soul; and may the outward and inward may be one.
When the inward is good the outward is also inevitably so, for the outward always follows the inward, whether good or evil.
I am pure light, not just a fistful of clay. The shell is not me, I came as the royal pearl within. Look at me not with outward eye but with inward vision of the heart; Follow me there and see how unencumbered we become.
Gracefulness has been defined to be the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul.
Grace has been defined as the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul.
Our fate is shaped from within ourselves outward, never from without inward.
If happiness is a state of the inward life, we have to look for its chief obstructions not in outward conditions but in deeper places. Happiness depends in the last issue, as we saw, on the essential view of life. It is not a matter of distractions, nor even of mere pleasurable sensations. There may be an appearance of great prosperity with incurable sadness hidden at the heart, as there is an outward peace which is only a well-masked despair. The way to happiness is indeed harder than the way to success; for its chief enemies entrench themselves within the soul.
Fear begins and ends with the desire to be secure; inward and outward security, with the desire to be certain, to have permanency. The continuity of permanence is sought in every direction, in virtue, in relationship, in action, in experience, in knowledge, in outward and inward things. To find security and be secure is the everlasting cry. It is this insistent demand that breeds fear.
Things have changed. Now it's not the outward appearance, it's the inward man that I'm trying to change. And that's the message I bring to the people.
Dreams are only the image of outward things shown on an inward mirror. But the mirror is the soul's enclosing darkness.
The fairy tale journey may look like an outward trek across plains and mountains, through castles and forests, but the actual movement is inward, into the lands of the soul.
We need to go inward instead of outward, and learn to trust our own inner guide, preserving our identity and finding the answers from within.
Optimism, then, is a fact within my own heart. But as I look out upon life, my heart meets no contradiction. The outward world justifies my inward universe of good.
The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great or good if the inward is small or of little worth.
