Humans are ideas; and ideas are uniquely human. ~ A.E. Samaan
Inner Reflection quotes by A.E. Samaan
We do not look into mirrors, for example, to see our "true" selves, but to see what others are seeing, and what passes for inner reflection is often an agonizing assessment of how others are judging us. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Inner Reflection quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
Tact by its nature entails staying mum, prudently electing to forgo urging other people to pursue an alternative course of action. Creation of silent spaces in our own life and equitable distribution of periods of respite that allow for periods of equable inner reflection is necessary to spur personal growth. It is equally important to honor other people's intrinsic need for periods of introspection, uninterrupted by unsolicited advice ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Inner Reflection quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Most of us want to have our minds continually occupied so that we are prevented from seeing ourselves as we actually are. We are afraid to be empty. We are afraid to look at our fears. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Inner Reflection quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
Whenever a time arises where clarity is desired, it is always wise to reflect on the sage within. ~ Sereda Aleta Dailey
Inner Reflection quotes by Sereda Aleta Dailey
Your ability to still your mind through the process of meditation and inner reflection and outer change brings a stillness to the mind all the time, even in the midst of the busiest activities. ~ Frederick Lenz
Inner Reflection quotes by Frederick Lenz
Humanity reveals her inner beauty through the interplay of gratitude, love, and kindness. ~ Debasish Mridha
Inner Reflection quotes by Debasish Mridha
The big thing (that really good fiction) can do is leaping over that wall of self and portraying inner experience and setting up a kind of intimate conversation between two consciousnesses ... the trick is going to be trying to find a way to do it
and for a generation
whose relation to the long sustained, linear verbal communication is fundamentally different. ~ David Foster Wallace
Inner Reflection quotes by David Foster Wallace
There is a beautiful expression of this in the Chandogya Upanishad: 'There is this City of Brahman, (that is the body), and in this city there is a shrine, and in that shrine there is a small lotus, and in that lotus there is a small space, (akasa). Now what exists within that small space, that is to be sought, that is to be understood.' This is the great discovery of the Upanishads, this inner shrine, this guha, or cave of the heart, where the inner meaning of life, of all human existence, is to be found. ~ Bede Griffiths
Inner Reflection quotes by Bede Griffiths
both her secret life and her despair lay in the same inner chamber of her heart, inaccessible to me. ~ Julian Barnes
Inner Reflection quotes by Julian Barnes
You cannot tie your fiance to the railroad track of self-reflection and personal improvement. ~ Amy Dickinson
Inner Reflection quotes by Amy Dickinson
Who told you that you were naked? Who have you been listening to?..'

This is a tragic reminder that we humans have the strange capacity to live a soulless life. Our inner voice was never supposed to be simply an echo. Our inner voice was always to resonate with the voice of God. Every other voice will either make us less than we were intended to be or convince us that we are more than we really are. Neither self-loathing nor self-worship helps us find our authentic voice. It is only when our inner voice responds to the voice of God that we begin to truly find to find our own voice. As critical as it is for us to understand that art is always an extension of ourselves, the creative act is also an expression of our essence.

It is equally important for us to realize that our guiding narrative determines the story we tell through our lives. Our inner voice not only informs us of who we are, but affects everything we touch. And in the end, becomes the driving force through which we strive to shape the world around us. The principal creative act described in Genesis chapter 1 begins with God speaking the universe into existence. God speaks out of who He is and everything in creation is a declaration of His glory. ~ Erwin Raphael McManus
Inner Reflection quotes by Erwin Raphael McManus
I needed you. I was trying to keep my head above water but you were the person who insisted on letting me drown because your words and action were weighing me down. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Inner Reflection quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
It was high time, for I now began to be tortured with thirst. The glow of the sun from above, its thousandfold reflection from the waves, the sea-water that fell and dried upon me, caking my very lips with salt, combined to make my throat burn and my brain ache. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Inner Reflection quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Opinions are secondary when dealing with reality. They're subjective reflections. ~ Frederick Lenz
Inner Reflection quotes by Frederick Lenz
Most of the Bible is a history told by people living in lands occupied by conquering superpowers. It is a book written from the underside of power. It's an oppression narrative. The majority of the Bible was written by a minority people living under the rule and reign of massive, mighty empires, from the Egyptian Empire to the Babylonian Empire to the Persian Empire to the Assyrian Empire to the Roman Empire.
This can make the Bible a very difficult book to understand if you are reading it as a citizen of the the most powerful empire the world has ever seen. Without careful study and reflection, and humility, it may even be possible to miss central themes of the Scriptures. ~ Rob Bell
Inner Reflection quotes by Rob Bell
The greatest misfortune that can come to a human being is to lose his inner peace. No outer force can rob him of it. It is his own thoughts, his own actions, that rob him of it. ~ Sri Chinmoy
Inner Reflection quotes by Sri Chinmoy
A child screams with joy and a child screams with pain, and the difference is in the timbre of that scream. Decibels of joy strike the inner ear differently from those of pain. ~ Fred D'Aguiar
Inner Reflection quotes by Fred D'Aguiar
While she is lovely, we need to remember that her face is not what distinguishes her. Her beauty is a reflection of the virtue and talent she keeps inside. ~ Lisa See
Inner Reflection quotes by Lisa See
You know, I always suspected you were the kind of guy to jerk off to your own reflection, but this is a step too far. ~ Melanie Marchande
Inner Reflection quotes by Melanie Marchande
This "I" was made in the image of God for fellowship with God. Without God it is miserable, empty, confused, and frustrated. Without God life has no meaning; but with God at its center there is life, an inner strength and peace, a deep satisfaction, an unfading joy known only to those who know Jesus Christ. ~ Billy Graham
Inner Reflection quotes by Billy Graham
After all it is those who have a deep and real inner life who are best able to deal with the irritating details of outer life. ~ Evelyn Underhill
Inner Reflection quotes by Evelyn Underhill
It takes courage to listen to your inner knowing … But once you hear that knowing, making a decision becomes fairly easy. ~ Joseph Jaworski
Inner Reflection quotes by Joseph Jaworski
This Self is never born, nor does It die. It did not spring from anything, nor did anything spring from It. This Ancient One is unborn, eternal, everlasting. It is not slain even though the body is slain. ~ The Upanishads
Inner Reflection quotes by The Upanishads
Your life is a reflection of your thoughts. Think well. ~ Danielle Pierre
Inner Reflection quotes by Danielle Pierre
People have always been vain. Can you imagine what it was like when some guy invented the first mirror? Maidens probably spent all day and night just staring at their own reflection in the dim candle light of their drafty castle tower, back when the first mirrors were cutting edge technology. ~ Oliver Markus Malloy
Inner Reflection quotes by Oliver Markus Malloy
Bach takes you to a very quiet place within yourself, to the inner core, a place where you are calm and at peace. ~ Yo-Yo Ma
Inner Reflection quotes by Yo-Yo Ma
To experience love, we must go inside. When you experience real love you get into a state which is beyond words. You are filled with a joy that goes beyond all emotions. True love is the love of the inner Self. ~ Swami Muktananda
Inner Reflection quotes by Swami Muktananda
I can't help but to write, I have a inner need for it. If I'm not in the middle of some literary project, I'm utterly lost, unhappy and distressed. As soon as I get started, I calm down. ~ Kaari Utrio
Inner Reflection quotes by Kaari Utrio
Our inner monologues have tremendous power over us. They can affect not only our mood, not only our physical bodies, ~ Panache Desai
Inner Reflection quotes by Panache Desai
To explode or to implode - said Qwfwq - that is the question: whether 'tis nobler in the mind to expand one's energies in space without restraint, or to crush them into a dense inner concentration and, by ingesting, cherish them. To steal away, to vanish; no more; to hold within oneself every gleam, every ray, deny oneself every vent, suffocating in the depths of the soul the conflicts that so idly trouble it, give them their quietus; to hide oneself, to obliterate oneself; perchance to awaken elsewhere, unchanged. ~ Italo Calvino
Inner Reflection quotes by Italo Calvino
So. If this was some normal fictional young-adult book, this is the part of the story where after the film, the entire high school would rise to their feet and applaud, and Earl and I would find True Acceptance and begin to Truly Believe in Ourselves and Rachel would somehow miraculously make a recovery, or maybe she would die but we would Always Have Her to Thank for Making Us Discover Our Inner Talent, and Madison would become my girlfriend and I would get to nuzzle her boobs like an affectionate panda cub whenever I wanted.
That is why fiction sucks. None of that happened. Instead, pretty much everything happened that I was afraid of, except worse. ~ Jesse Andrews
Inner Reflection quotes by Jesse Andrews
Healing light shines upon your soul even when the clouds roll in and the sky goes gray. The beauty of your rainbow fills the space between the gray and the blue providing balance to your soul. I see the rainbow's reflection in your eyes always. May God's light maintain the vibrant color of your heart. ~ Jason Micheal Ratliff
Inner Reflection quotes by Jason Micheal Ratliff
It must be obvious that in the high Middle Ages there was no possibility of the sort of naturalism which reduces the whole of reality to a mere sum of sense impressions any more than of a total replacement of feudal forms of rule by the bourgeois manner of life, nor again of any radical abolition of the spiritual dictatorship of the Church for a free and untrammelled secular culture. In art, as in all other fields of culture, what we find is just a certain balance between freedom and restraint. Gothic naturalism is an unstable equilibrium of world-affirming and world-denying impulses, just as the whole of chivalry is permeated by an inner contradiction, and just as the whole religious life of the period fluctuates between dogma and inwardness, between clerical creeds and lay piety, between orthodoxy and subjectivism. The same inner contradiction, the same spiritual polarity, manifests itself in all these social, religious and artistic oppositions. ~ Arnold Hauser
Inner Reflection quotes by Arnold Hauser
Choicelessness is the alchemy of transformation, of inner mutation. A new being is born who has nothing to do with the past, who is absolutely discontinuous with the past. He has no desire. And when there is no desire, for the first time you live ~ Rajneesh
Inner Reflection quotes by Rajneesh
Upbringing is an immeasurable and subtle influence upon ma's soul. It is completely indirect through love, examples, forgiveness, and punishment with the intention of initiating an inner activity in man himself. Drill , being essentially bestial, is a system of measures and action taken to force a certain behavior, the so-called right behavior, upon a human being. Upbringing belongs to man; drill is designed for the animal. By means of drill, it is possible to form citizens who obey the law not out of respect but out of fear or habit. Their inside may be dead, their feelings withered; yet, they still do not break the law because they have been drilled. ~ Alija Izetbegovic
Inner Reflection quotes by Alija Izetbegovic
Though we may show a polite grin or camera smile at will, the zygomatic or heartfelt smile is hard to produce on demand. While the former cue may be consciously manipulated (and is subject to deception), the latter is controlled by emotion. Thus, the zygomatic smile is a more accurate reflection of mood. ~ David B. Givens
Inner Reflection quotes by David B. Givens
Aside from actually manifesting your SoulMate, synchronicities, equanimity and gratitude are the three main signs that your inner work is working and you are on the right path to manifesting your SoulMate. ~ Annette Vaillancourt
Inner Reflection quotes by Annette Vaillancourt
The poetry you could write about Rufus helping me out of my grave isn't lost on me. ~ Adam Silvera
Inner Reflection quotes by Adam Silvera
Perhaps there is a provisional solution to this epistemological mess, which is to be located in the phrase it is as if. This phrase is of course precisely the announcement of an analogy. And on reflection, it is admittedly a halting problem, but jumping out of it, there is something quite suggestive and powerful in this formulation, something very specifically human. Possibly this formulation itself is the deep diagnostic of all human cognition - the tell, as they say, meaning the thing that tells, the giveaway. In the infinite black space of ignorance, it is as if stands as the basic operation of cognition, the mark perhaps of consciousness itself. Human language: it is as if it made sense. ~ Kim Stanley Robinson
Inner Reflection quotes by Kim Stanley Robinson
I have found that people who have a passion or a strong will for what they want to achieve, and who do not allow others to smear or sully their inner pictures of what they want to manifest, always seem to get what they desire in their lives. ~ Wayne Dyer
Inner Reflection quotes by Wayne Dyer
I imagine Einstein had a full sensational experience when he formulated his Theory of Relativity. He might have envisioned (inner) the sun and its weight in space as a billiard ball resting on a sheet. While he looked (outer) down at his notes, he might have remembered (inner) a past conversation with his good friend, the mathematician Marcel Grossmann, about mathematics and gravity. He might have felt (outer) tightness in his gut as he waited for an eclipse to take place, which would prove his theory right or wrong. ~ Sarah Wood Vallely
Inner Reflection quotes by Sarah Wood Vallely
Dream images swell against the mind's sleeping inner shores ~ Jazz Feylynn
Inner Reflection quotes by Jazz Feylynn
The believer in magic and miracles reflects on how to impose a law on nature
: and, in brief, the religious cult is the outcome of this reflection. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Inner Reflection quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
reflection and his reflection stares back at him. For a moment, he no longer knows which is which. He needs to know. With huge effort he turns his head from the mirror and forces himself to look once more upon ~ Robert Daws
Inner Reflection quotes by Robert Daws
