“The world will ask you who you are, and if you do not know, the world will tell you.”

“If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.”

Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) English writer

“When someone tells you, “I love you,” and then you feel, “Oh, I must be worthy after all,” that’s an illusion. That’s not true. Or someone says, “I hate you,” and you think, “Oh, God, I knew it; I’m not very worthy,” that’s not true either. Neither one of these thoughts hold any intrinsic reality. They are an overlay. When someone says, “I love you,” he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, “I hate you,” she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views—literally.”

Adyashanti (1962) Spiritual teacher

“Never forget who you are, the rest of the world will not, wear it like armor andit can never be used to hurt you. - Tyrion Lannister”

George Raymond Richard Martin (1948) American writer, screenwriter and television producer

“Until you do what you believe in, you don’t know whether you believe it or not.”

Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) Russian writer

“One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.”

Khalil Gibran (1883–1931) Lebanese artist, poet, and writer

“I'm telling you this because you don't get it. You think you get it, which is not the same as actually getting it. Get it?”

Hatake Kakashi book Naruto

“Do not love half lovers
Do not entertain half friends
Do not live half a life
and do not die a half death
If you choose silence, then be silent
When you speak, do so until you are finished
Do not silence yourself to say something
And do not speak to be silent
If you accept, then express it bluntly
Do not mask it
If you refuse then be clear about it
for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half the way will get you no where
Half an idea will bear you no results
Half a life is a life you didn't live,
A word you have not said
A smile you postponed
A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know
The half is a mere moment of inability
but you are able for you are not half a being
You are a whole that exists to live a life
not half a life.”

Khalil Gibran (1883–1931) Lebanese artist, poet, and writer

“My speaking is meant to shake you awake, not to tell you how to dream better.”

Adyashanti (1962) Spiritual teacher

“I love you not because of who you are, but because of who l can be in front of you.”
