“Who are we but the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves, and believe?”

“The tales we tell ourselves about ourselves makes us who we are.”

“we become the stories we tell ourselves”

“The past is just a story we tell ourselves.”

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”

“Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves…”

“… What happens is of little significance compared with the stories we tell ourselves about what happens. Events matter little, only stories of events affect us.”

“It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.”

“Hope is the lies we tell ourselves about the future.”

“We are, largely, who we remember ourselves to be. That's why habits are so hard to break. If we know ourselves to be liars, we expect not to tell the truth. If we think of ourselves as honest, we try harder.”
