Ray Bradbury Quotes

My problem was I let myself become known before I knew myself.

I like when people know exactly, have a good sense of themselves, and know exactly what's good for them, I admire that, but I don't have anywhere near that kind of perspective on my own.

You really have to know who you are. It takes, uh it's not that easy.

People have to learn who they are - you can't have somebody else telling you who you are.

I know who I am and what I do.

The ultimate mystery is one's own self.

One of my problems is to find the self.

Figure out who you are.

I don't know what else I would be if I wasn't me. I am not looking from the outside, looking back. I am who I am.

I'm asked all the time in interviews about who I am, and I know a few people my age who have a strong sense of self, but I couldn't say I know myself and sum it up and give it to you in a little package. I don't know myself at all yet.

I've never, ever labeled myself.

I have a pretty good grip on who I am.

I don't even know who I am. All I know is that I am the sibling, daughter, sister, the friend of somebody, and I need to know who I am outside of that.

I just kind of, like, know who I am. I think that comes from having an incredibly strong sense of purpose for a very long time.

I think I spent a lot of my mid-twenties thinking it was a problem of my onstage persona. But, actually, it was my actual personality. I was still working out what kind of person I was.

I see the ups and downs. I see the mistakes I've made. I see a funny person. I see a serious person. I see a diamond. I see the good times. I see the bad times. And I see knowledge of self. I see knowledge of self. I know who I am. When I look in the mirror, I see me.

Truly know thyself, and to thine own self be true.

...fact was she knew more about them than she knew about herself, having never had the map to discover what she was like. Could she sing? (Was it nice to hear when she did?) Was she pretty? Was she a good friend? Could she have been a loving mother? A faithful wife? Have I got a sister and does she favor me? If my mother knew me would she like me? (140)

To know nothing about yourself is to live. To know yourself badly is to think.

Knowing who you are is confidence.

The greatest discovery in life is self-discovery. Until you find yourself you will always be someone else. Become yourself.

First you have to know who you are. That is the most important thing, as if you don't know who you are you will either get swallowed up or you follow some unsuitable trends and just become a nonentity.

All you need to do is know who you are.

The precept, "Know yourself," was not solely intended to obviate the pride of mankind; but likewise that we might understand our own worth.

It's easy to forget who you are.
