Examine Good Makes Oneself Sight Use

Zhuangzi
Chinese - Philosopher
369 BC - 286 BC

To be naked is to be oneself. To be nude is to be seen naked by others and yet not recognized for oneself. A naked body has to be seen as an object in order to become a nude. (The sight of it as an object stimulates the use of it as an object.) Nakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display. To be naked is to be without disguises.

John Berger

Chess books should be used as we use glasses: to assist the sight, although some players make use of them as if they thought they conferred sight

Jose Raul Capablanca

To practice Dhamma means to observe and examine oneself.

Ajahn Chah

Examine what you do and examine what other women do. Examine the dreams that men hold of you and how they force you in a corner, literally and figuratively.

Frederick Lenz

I sometimes wonder if the inability to find oneself makes one seek oneself in other people, in characters.

John Cazale

Sight is not absolutely essential in this process, but we use sight because it is the dominant sense. It's easiest to interrupt the flow of thought in sense perception and move the mind beyond sense perception with sight.

Frederick Lenz

Real beauty is to be true to oneself. That's what makes me feel good.

Laetitia Casta

The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.

Oscar Wilde

In truth, to know oneself seems to be the hardest of all things. Not only our eye, which observes external objects, does not use the sense of sight upon itself, but even our mind, which contemplates intently another's sin, is slow in the recognition of its own defects.

Saint Basil

It is sometimes a point of as much cleverness to know to make good use of advice from others as to be able give good advice to oneself.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.

Oscar Wilde

A general rule for the good use of time is to accustom oneself to live in a continual dependence on the Spirit of God.

Francois Fenelon

It's not good to live so much inside oneself. It's a self-imposed exile, really. It makes you different.

Nancy Horan

The value of a story isn't that it just has a narcotic effect. It's that it awakens something in you that makes you want to think, that makes you talk to other people, that stirs something that makes you examine the story that eventually turns into self-examination.

Will Smith

We use up words as we use up images. We use up everything, and that's good, because it makes us grow.

Agnes Denes

I think the computer is a hindrance to good writing because it is so tempting to leave what you've written. If you use a typewriter, you must retype if you make a mistake, and thus, you must re-examine every word.
