Daniel Lubetzky Quotes

If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am.

I caught up on a lot of just domestic normal everyday stuff, and grew up a lot, and went to therapy, and did a lot of contemplating and figuring things out. I needed to just strip everything away and figure out who I am and get to know myself, as cheesy as that sounds.

I guess I was just always one of those guys who asked those fundamental questions: 'Who am I? What's this for? Why? What does this mean? Is this real?' All these pretty basic questions.

We have so committed ourselves in different ways that we have hardly any time for self-reflection, to observe, to study.

Meditation is a good starting point, or even a little bit of contemplative reflection, asking questions like: Who am I without my name or form? What is my purpose if there is one?

The ultimate mystery is one's own self.

Maybe one day I can have a reunion with myself.

I always write to understand my place in the world. I can see myself and my life unfold on the page, and I can understand my strengths, my weaknesses - I can see where I need to step up a bit.

My goal is to get quieter as I get older.

I don't think I gain anything by seeing myself.

I have always preferred the reflection of the life to life itself.

I love to spend a lot of time on my own. I can seriously go into my own head and often love to let myself travel where I don't know where I'm going.

I discovered myself!

I don't think we spend enough time in reflection and introspection. We don't know who we are as individuals in this culture anymore.

Especially on unexpected journeys, you have time; you can figure certain deeper things out, like who you are and what you want. That's why I enjoy journeys.
