Nicolas Chamfort

Other Self Quotes #114665
#42. Metaphysically, his bowl filled and emptied at the same time. Violent and maniacal to push himself so far, he'd both created and destroyed his body's energy. In other words he had complete power, self-sustaining, self-sacrificing power at the origin of himself.

Jason Silva

Other Self Quotes #176874

Richard Rohr

Other Self Quotes #203713

Other Self Quotes #244062

Other Self Quotes #369156

Pema Chodron

Other Self Quotes #435929

L. Neil Smith

Other Self Quotes #520501
#88. I have been privileged to grow up retaining the love of good journalism, the craft, while learning its business: the dollars and cents. I have learnt that they are not mutually exclusive but integrally self-reliant. Each dependent on the other.
