Myself Quotes

Quotes on knowing yourself.

These quotes turn inward, questioning long-held traditions and how one sees oneself - one recalls identifying strongly as a mathematician rather than a technologist, while another admits, with some humor, to relying on charm rather than looks. Related reading includes I Am Quotes.

The biggest thing I'm seeing - and I have to be careful what I say here - is that people are tired of the old guard and the familiar brands. They're looking for more individuality and creativity, and that's coming...

Quotes by Simone Biles

Mentally, I have to get my body and mind in the right place before I start the routine, but once into the zone, it's like I turn on a switch. I envision myself doing the same thing for the Olympic...

Quotes by Simone Biles

Quotes by Simon Raven

I did an audiobook for 'Rough Crossings,' which I thought was one of the best books I had published. But it was an absolute embarrassment to read it. All these horrible mucked-up bits of syntax, over-the-top adjectives. I found myself...

Quotes by Simon Schama

I actually struggled through teaching myself to cook because I'm completely ignorant in the kitchen. So I did really macho things like trying to make my own curry. Really hardcore stuff.

Quotes by Simon Helberg

In all the poems I've written I've not really engaged in politics, and when I've found myself moving in that direction I've always stopped myself.

Quotes by Simon Armitage

I have to make myself write, sometimes. In the space between poems, you somehow forget how to do it, where to begin. It was good to be task - based for a while. I just came downstairs each day, picked...

Quotes by Simon Armitage

Quotes by Simon Bird

Quotes by Sigrid Agren

Quotes by Sigrid Undset

I don't want to be known as a serial entrepreneur. I like doing one thing at a time and making sure that gets my full attention until it's well established. I enjoy the initial years of a company because they...

Quotes by Silvio Scaglia

I find it very hard not to be myself and maybe that does attract attention, but I'd be miserable if I wasn't.

Quotes by Sienna Miller

My office has a view of low-cost housing, old East German prefabricated apartment buildings. It isn't an attractive view, but it's very helpful, because it reminds me to ask myself, whenever there is a decision to be made, whether the...

Quotes by Sigmar Gabriel

Mostly, drawings are things I make for myself - I do them in sketchbooks. They are mental experiments - private inner thoughts when I'm not sure what will come out.

Quotes by Sigmar Polke

I love all dots. I am married to many of them. I want all dots to be happy. Dots are my brothers. I am a dot myself.

Quotes by Sigmar Polke

I'm no Ripley. I had doubts that I could play her as strongly as she had to be played, but I must say that it was fun exploring that side of myself. Women don't get to do that very often.

Quotes by Sigourney Weaver

Communism seemed to be an ideal experiment in trying to achieve a state where all persons have greater democracy. I might add, like other persons here and elsewhere, I found myself concerned with the problem of increasing need for greater...

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are on the "Myself" page?
Honest, self-reflective quotes — wondering about the point of Christmas as it's become more ecumenical and secular, identifying as "a pure mathematician" rather than a computer person, and a self-deprecating but confident line about not being "extremely handsome" but able to "charm you into liking me."
Are these quotes humble or confident?
A mix of both — some show genuine uncertainty, like questioning the meaning of a holiday, while others show a confident sense of self despite modest self-assessment, like the "charm you into liking me" line. For more of that confident tone, I Am quotes is a good companion page.
Is there a quote about identity and career?
Yes — one contrasts being seen as a "pure mathematician" versus having any interest in computers, an interesting look at how someone defined themselves professionally.
What about reflections on holidays or traditions?
There's a thoughtful one about finding yourself wondering about the point of the celebration as Christmas has changed over the years — a nice example of questioning tradition rather than just following it.
How is "Myself" different from Life quotes?
"Myself" stays tightly focused on personal identity and self-perception, while Life quotes take a broader view. If you want something a little more everyday in tone, Good quotes or Like quotes are also worth a look.

There's also a yearly ritual of questioning the meaning behind a holiday celebration, showing self-reflection can be seasonal too. See Good Quotes and Life Quotes for more.
