For me art and chess are closely related, both are forms in which the self finds beauty and expression.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think we all have blocks between us and the best version of ourselves, whether it's shyness, insecurity, anxiety, whether it's a physical block, and the story of a person overcoming that block to their best self. It's truly inspiring because I think all of us are engaged in that every day.
- Know

Acceptance is different than apathy. It is important to strive to be your best self, your healthiest, most productive, joyful self. But that is going to be a different answer to everyone.
- Ego
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Instead of looking outside of ourselves and counting potential enemies, fasting summons us to turn our glance inward, and to take the measure of our greatest challenge: the self, the ego, in our own eyes and as others see us.
- Life
- |

Cultures, along with the religions that shape and nurture them, are value systems, sets of traditions and habits clustered around one or several languages, producing meaning: for the self, for the here and now, for the community, for life.
- Like

It's no secret the benefits of yoga include but are not limited to a healthy body, calm mind, reduced stress, feeling of connectivity with self and the world, increased awareness and sensitivity, and an overall feeling of awesomeness.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Yoga, the physical part, brings health in your body; meditation works on the mind, realizing your self. And they both can be practiced at the same time.
- Mind

- Nov 07, 2020
The desert Arab found no joy like the joy of voluntarily holding back. He found luxury in abnegation, renunciation, self restraint. He made nakedness of the mind as sensuous as nakedness of the body. He saved his own soul, perhaps, and without danger, but in a hard selfishness.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm the laziest person - that's my normal self. When I'm hanging around my house, I literally look like a tramp. I love being comfortable and having no make-up on.

Allowing a friend to careen toward self destruction is not friendship. That is a habit the United States needs to break as it pursues a richer and more deeply supportive relationship with Israel.
- Ideas
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The discussion of ideas as opposed to the American narcissistic obsession with what's going on with the self, that's the general thing people are talking about.
- Food
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I try to take moments to get brain food - I read, I listen to talk radio - and fill my own self with learning.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was lucky I was raised by parents who gave me a lot of sense of self and a lot of confidence in myself.
- Truly
- |

Be that self which one truly is.
- Habit

As years passed away I have formed the habit of looking back upon that former self as upon another person, the remembrance of whose emotions has been a solace in adversity and added zest to the enjoyment of prosperity.

- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

Writing, for me, when I'm writing in the first-person, is like a form of acting. So as I'm writing, the character or self I'm writing about and my whole self - when I began the book - become entwined. It's soon hard to tell them apart. The voice I'm trying to explore directs my own perceptions and thoughts.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a captain, I am concerned about my team and how I perform. I have hopes from my own self and very high hopes from my team members.
- Poetry
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The completely solitary self: that's where poetry comes from, and it gets isolated by crisis, and those crises are often very intimate also.
- Developmental
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I suppose it's fair to say that I am interested in the invention of self or selves. We're all born into certain circumstances with particular physical traits, unique developmental experiences, geographical and historical contexts.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My grandmother was a huge influence on me. She allowed me to be my flamboyant self as a kid. She babysat me; auditions came later - by later, I mean six years old. She sang and played piano, and I'd sit beside her. I don't know how confident I am, but I think you need it to survive in this industry.
- Inspirational

The authentic self is the soul made visible.
- Neighbors
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The duty of helping one's self in the highest sense involves the helping of one's neighbors.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Desire then is the invasion of the whole self by the wish, which, as it invades, sets going more and more of the psychical processes; but at the same time, so long as it remains desire, does not succeed in getting possession of the self.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can mark in desire the rising of the tide, as the appetite more and more invades the personality, appealing, as it does, not merely to the sensory side of the self, but to its ideal components as well.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Down on the ground, we seem to do anything but make lengthy, robust monologues. We can communicate in an instant almost anywhere. Gone is the slow old letter - itself a monologue, a sort of considered performance of best self - and in its place is the e-mail, the text, the SMS, the tweet.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The sense of one's past is so strong and forms our sense of self so strongly, it will always fascinate, elude and confuse me.
- Poet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Poetry is also the physical self of the poet, and it is impossible to separate the poet from his poetry.
- Singing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Singing is about telling a story. When you are onstage, you get to be your own self... When acting, you're someone else.
- Person
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everyone is being told by society to talk this way, to dress that way, to be this person or to be that person, and it's so important to just maintain a sense of self.
- Humanity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do think that the strongest character is somebody that you can connect with to your personal self, or at least find the humanity in both of you and start from there.
- Ability
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of the qualities essential to writing exciting stories, whether for page or screen, is an ability to abandon one's morality. We simply cannot be good writers and good people. One must be able to access one's darkest self, one's venality and pettiness and murderousness.
- Looking
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You must learn to perceive as your self that which lies outside you. Looking only within oneself leads to a hardening in oneself, to a higher egotism.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had a lot of friends, but none of them I felt super close with. Now that I'm older, I can look back on my teenage self and kind of see the things I did wrong and the things I did right, what affect they had on me, and what affect they had on other people. I can look at it in a much more conducive way to storytelling.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My real self is probably more creative and more frightening than any sort of drink or drug-induced state.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I jumped off the wheel of fortune because I wanted to simplify things. Now I've fulfilled my obligations to myself by making my new record. I'd like it to sell millions of copies, but my self - worth is not based on chart positions.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I cannot consistently, with self respect, do other than I have, namely, to deliberately violate an act which seems to me to be a denial of everything which ideally and in practice I hold sacred.
- Opportunity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'll tell you, I think that the Internet has provided an enormous boost to film criticism by giving people an opportunity to self publish or to find sites that are friendly.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I told my 18-year-old self that one day I'd have a sitcom and a sketch show on TV, I think he'd just drum his fingers and go, 'When? How long is that going to take?'
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
But what many psychologists have done, probably because they did well on a test themselves and everyone wants high self esteem, is to create this little box and then do their research inside it.
- Grow
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As we grow up, we're constantly defining ourselves. In my case: Caucasian, male, born in Iowa, live in Boston, Zen Buddhist, good at learning languages. With countless labels, I build up this creation I call my self.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When we don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, we always say, 'Oh, I'm so lonely. I want a date,' or something like that. But I think the biggest love we're all searching for is the love for one's self.
