The soul is so far from being a monad that we have not only to interpret other souls to ourself but to interpret ourself to ourself.

T. S. Eliot

We don't want any starry trappings that would make us obsessed with ourself and our image.

Saira Banu

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

Christianity teaches us to love our neighbor as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbor.

Benjamin Disraeli

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

We have doomed the wolf not for what it is, but for what we deliberately and mistakenly perceive it to be –the mythologized epitome of a savage ruthless killer – which is, in reality, no more than a reflected image of ourself.

Farley Mowat

True love always brings joy to ourself and the one we love. If our love does not bring joy to both of us, it is not true love.

Nhat Hanh

It was stupidity that forced us to discard anything that did not conform with ourself - reflective expectations.

Carlos Castaneda

The one person who will never leave us, whom we will never lose, is ourself. Learning to love our female selves is where our search for love must begin.

bell hooks

We meet no Stranger, but Ourself.

Emily Dickinson

A friend is a beloved mystery; dearest always because he is not ourself, and has something in him which it is impossible for us to fathom. If it were not so, friendship would lose its chief zest.

Lucy Larcom

We spend our life until we’re twenty deciding what parts of ourself to put into the bag, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to get them out again.
