When you're constantly looking for things from other people, you're not looking within yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You must learn to perceive as your self that which lies outside you. Looking only within oneself leads to a hardening in oneself, to a higher egotism.
I sometimes wonder if the inability to find oneself makes one seek oneself in other people, in characters.
One sometimes finds what one is not looking for.
I am someone who doesn't pay so much attention to how I am looking. I get so involved in what I am doing, so I overlook that.
To leave in search of yourself, of your real needs, is easier when you don't have to justify yourself to anyone, when there are not too many people bestowing you their attention.
I'm not thinking about me that much anymore. Every time I look, I'm looking for my daughter, you know? If I'm in a store, I'm looking at baby clothes. It's so much cuter to find things for her than to find things for me.
Being at college, I think that's the time when you really start searching for things outside yourself.
If people want to find things, they find them themselves.
I've been through so much of my own self-search that I'm not as consumed with who I am as I used to be.
It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost.
