The well bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.
- Oscar WildeThe aim of life is self-development. To realize one`s nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for.
- Oscar WildeWithout struggle, no progress and no result. Every breaking of habit produces a change in the machine.
- George GurdjieffWe must strive for freedom if we strive for self-knowledge. The task of self-knowledge and of further self-development is of such importance and seriousness, it demands such intensity of effort, that to attempt it any old way and amongst other things is impossible. The person who undertakes this task must put it first in his life, which is not so long that he can afford to squander it on trifles.
- George GurdjieffOnly to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self`s actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.
- Viktor Frankl
