Seeking Quotes
-
If you search everywhere, yet cannot find what you are seeking, it is because what you seek is already in your possession.
Lao Tzu
-
Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal.
Hermann Hesse
-
When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. You, O worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.
Hermann Hesse
-
Situations in life often permit no delay; and when we cannot determine the course which is certainly best, we must follow the one which is probably the best. This frame of mind freed me also from the repentance and remorse commonly felt by those vacillating individuals who are always seeking as worthwhile things which they later judge to be bad.
Rene Descartes
-
It's our mortality that terrifies us, because what we're really seeking is immortality - that is, after all, a fool's errand.
Roger Caras
-
While seeking out the dead, I see nothing but the living.
Honore de Balzac
-
For the night-wind has a dismal trick of wandering round and round a building of that sort, and moaning as it goes; and of trying, with its unseen hand, the windows and the doors; and seeking out some crevices by which to enter.
Charles Dickens
-
The world was beautiful when looked at in this way-without any seeking, so simple, so childlike.
Hermann Hesse
-
The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it.
William Faulkner
-
There are only three types of people; those who have found God and serve him; those who have not found God and seek him, and those who live not seeking, or finding him. The first are rational and happy; the second unhappy and rational, and the third foolish and unhappy.
Blaise Pascal
-
Truth is that which, when fully realized, sets you free from all bondage and all seeking.
Adi Da
-
When I first met you, I felt a kind of contradiction in you. You’re seeking something, but at the same time, you are running away for all you’re worth.
Haruki Murakami
