Quotes by Rebecca Romijn

Quotes by Ramakrishna

That which comes and goes, rises and sets, is born and dies is the ego. That which always abides, never changes, and is devoid of qualities is the Self.

Quotes by Ramana Maharshi

One must realise his Self in order to open the store of unalloyed happiness.

Quotes by Ramana Maharshi

Quotes by Ramana Maharshi

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes will I find on this "self" quotes collection?
This page gathers quotes exploring identity and self-perception -- from reflective lines about who we really are to cautionary ones about ego. One quote puts it simply: "We are all the same person trying to shake hands with our self." For more on identity themes, see our Identity quotes and Truth quotes collections.
Do any of the quotes here warn against too much self-pride?
Yes. One older-style quote describes "A discontented young fellow, filled with self pride; he certainly should have considered it an honor to be sent on so respectable an embassy as he was" -- a reminder that pride can blind someone to a genuine opportunity. Browse more reflective lines on our Growth quotes page.
Is there a quote here connecting "self" to a diagnosis or health struggle?
Yes -- one quote reflects on identity beyond illness: "My parents instilled in me a sense of self that I was more than just a diagnosis or a condition." It's a grounded reminder that self-worth isn't defined by a label. See related lines on our Emotion quotes page.
Does this collection touch on how culture and media shape our sense of self?
Yes -- one entry references Adam Curtis' 'Century of Self.' and reflects on how artists can fail the public by being too exclusive or insular, like being in an echo chamber. It's a more analytical take on identity than most quotes here. For lighter takes on individuality, see our Alone quotes collection.
What's a good next page to explore after "self" quotes?
If you enjoyed the reflective tone here, our Identity quotes and Truth quotes pages continue the theme of understanding who we really are, while Growth quotes covers the journey of becoming a better version of yourself.
