Love is the image of ourself until ourself destroys us.

Jean Garrigue

One need not be a Chamber - to be Haunted - One need not be a House - The Brain - has Corridors - surpassing Material Place - Far safer, of a Midnight - meeting External Ghost - Than an Interior - Confronting - That cooler - Host. Far safer, through an Abbey - gallop - The Stones a'chase - Than Moonless - One's A'self encounter - In lonesome place - Ourself - behind ourself - Concealed - Should startle - most.

Emily Dickinson

The denial of "self" challenges only the notion of a static self independent of body and mind-not the ordinary sense of ourself as a person distinct from everyone else. The notion of a static self is the primary obstruction to the realization of our unique potential as an individual being. By dissolving this fiction through a centered vision of the transiency, ambiguity, and contingency of experience, we are freed to create ourself anew.

Stephen Batchelor

We can all live under the Constitution and all express ourself in radically different ways and not control each other.

Glenn Beck

We are always saying to ourself.. we have to innovate. We got to come up with that breakthrough... we're only paid for breakthroughs.

Bill Gates

We meet no Stranger, but Ourself.

Emily Dickinson

Emptiness is in fact form when we forget the self. There's nothing in the universe *other* than ourself. Nothing to compare, name, or identify. When it's the only thing there is, how can we talk about it?

Taizan Maezumi

All relationships are a reflection of our relationship to ourself.

Deepak Chopra

Life is a labor pain; we are here to give birth to ourself.

Bernie Siegel

Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.

Jameis Winston

We are all interconnected in a web of kindness from which it is impossible to separate ourself.

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.

Luciano Pavarotti

Belief in ourself is like a muscle - it is strengthened by constant and careful use.

Catherine DeVrye

The path to enlightenment is really very simple - all we need to do is stop cherishing ourself and learn to cherish others. All other spiritual realisations will naturally follow from this.

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

The proper use of comments is to compensate for our failure to express ourself in code.
