Carole Bouquet Quotes

Unraveling external selves and coming home to our real identity is the true meaning of soul work.

Getting in touch with your true self must be your first priority.

Enlightenment is the key to everything, and it is the key to intimacy, because it is the goal of true authenticity.

We must at times search our own souls and discover what we really are. Our real character, much as we would wish, cannot be hidden.

The road to enlightenment is paved with authenticity, not imitation.

The state of self-realization, as we call it, is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been.

But I am not perfect in my way of putting things Because I lack the divine simplicity Of being only what I appear to be.

Wake-up! Think for yourself, be yourself and return to what is real.

I think I've found out who I am and what we've been looking for. We don't have to search for my identity anymore. This is it-we're doing it!

Getting the pretty back is about getting back in touch with your essential self: the part of you that knows what you really want.

It is fine to imitate a being you respect, but you cannot become that very being. Imitation is something one does to grow and develop. It is not something you use to deceive yourself. You absorb in yourself the things you think have some kind of value, but even if you try to find the meaning about your true self you will not find anything. Because those who cannot accept their real self always fail.

May you know the beauty of your own true nature.

Your false self is always that which is passing away. Your true self doesn't go up or down, it's constant - it's a rock. Once you learn how to live there, what others say about you, your failures or successes - these don't send you on a roller coaster ride down or up. It's really the only way to peace. There's no other way to be peaceful except in the true self.

We get so swept up in sort of what the media tells us to care about and all these other influences that we really have to dig down deep and figure out what is it that we as human beings really care about and want for ourselves. When you figure that out, you see who you really are.

Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.

We do not know it because we are fooling away our time with outward and perishing things, and are asleep in regard to that which is real within ourself.

It only seems that there is something more important for you to do than to just quietly be yourself.

To know what that true self is without social pressure is to know your true nature.

What we must try to be, of course, is ourselves and wholeheartedly. We must find out what we really are and what we really want.

People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.

I want to stop transforming and just start being.

I wanted to become me, totally me. The more me, the better. I instinctively knew this and I was right.

All religious leaders and spiritual teachers emphasize finding a place within us that is true. People who obsessively follow these leaders instead of their own purpose attach to the spiritual leader and become fanatical and controlling. That's why Jesus tried to tell his followers not to get attached to outward form.

I didn't want to become like so many of the young people I've worked with who have money, fame, and success but don't know who they are as people.
