Anne Lamott Quotes

You get your intuition back when you make space for it, when you stop the chattering of the rational mind.

Somewhere in there, among the worries, questions, advice and advertising jingles, lives your intuition, your true 'inner voice.' You can hear it to the extent that you give it your attention.

The subconscious is ceaselessly murmuring, and it is by listening to these murmurs that one hears the truth.

Seek always for the answer within. Be not influenced by those around you, by their thoughts or their words.

I can't help believing that these things that come from the subconscious mind have a sort of truth to them. It may not be a scientific truth, but it's psychological truth.

A truth which comes to us from outside always bears the stamp of uncertainty. We can believe only what appears to each one of us in our own hearts as truth.

What is truth? A difficult question; but I have solved it for myself by saying that it is what the 'voice within' tells you.

There is always one true inner voice. Trust it.

If you let it, the noise of the world will drown out the voice of God, which is your intuition.

Your soul - that inner quiet space - is yours to consult. It will always guide you in the right direction.

We all have an inner teacher, an inner guide, an inner voice that speaks very clearly but usually not very loudly. That information can be drowned out by the chatter of the mind and the pressure of day-to-day events. But if we quiet down the mind, we can begin to hear what we're not paying attention to. We can find out what's right for us.

Listen to your hunches, pay attention to your intuition, do not dismiss your random thoughts, inspirations or ideas.... They could be giving you the best advice you ever had.

Prefer what intuition whispers in your ear to what you have done and redone ten times in your head.

The unconditioned mind intuits truth.

Truth is what the voice within tells you.

Let the inner ear listen to the voice of truth that is always speaking.

If you follow the voice inside you, it does give you guidance.

It was his subconscious which told him this - that infuriating part of a person's brain which never responds to interrogation, merely gives little meaningful nudges and then sits humming quietly to itself, saying nothing.

I learnt another valuable lesson that night: listen to the quiet voice inside. Intuition is the noise of the mind.

Intuition is soul guidance, appearing naturally in man during those instants when his mind is calm.

Silence is the sea, and speech is like the river. The sea is seeking you: don't seek the river. Don't turn your head away from the signs offered by the sea.

Always listen to your inner voice, your instincts

The more room you give yourself to express your true thoughts and feelings, the more room there is for your wisdom to emerge.

If a little voice in your head is telling you something is up, maybe you should listen.

Look inside yourself for the answers - you're the only one who knows what's best for you. Everybody else is only guessing.
