Persona Quotes

“Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus; and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs, and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.”
― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

“Now that you're an adult, you might still feel a pang of guilt when you decline a dinner invitation in favor of a good book. Or maybe you like to eat alone in restaurants and could do without the pitying looks from fellow diners. Or you're told that you're "in your head too much", a phrase that's often deployed against the quiet and cerebral.

Or maybe there's another word for such people: thinkers.”
― Susan Cain

“Every person is defined by the communities she belongs to.”
― Orson Scott Card, Speaker for the Dead

“The difference between me and other people is that they all walk around with onion skins wrapped around them. Pre-meditations, pretentions, the faces that they present to the world, the faces that they present to themselves.. onion skins that come in layer after layer. They're on the inside of all that. And I... I am the inside of the onion skin walking around. I am only me.”
― C. JoyBell C.

“The most important thing in business is a persona, Nico,' he was fond of saying. 'People want to know immediately what they're dealing with. And when they think about you, you've got to stand out in their minds--like one of those characters in a novel.”
― Candace Bushnell, Lipstick Jungle

“The sun is up now, revealing all of us for what we really are.

― Elizabeth Alexander, The Black Interior: Essays

“Durante toda mi vida, he tenido la impresión de que podía convertirme en una persona distinta. De que, yéndome a otro lugar y empezando una nueva vida, iba a convertirme en otro hombre. He repetido una vez tras otra la misma operación. Para mí representaba, en un sentido, madurar y, en otro sentido, reinventarme a mí mismo. De algún modo, convirtiéndome en otra persona quería liberarme de algo implícito en el yo que había sido hasta entonces. Lo buscaba de verdad, seriamente, y creía que, si me esforzaba, podría conseguirlo algún día. Pero, al final, eso no me conducía a ninguna parte. Por más lejos que fuera, seguía siendo yo. Por más que me alejara, mis carencias seguían siendo las mismas. Por más que el decorado cambiase, por más que el eco de la voz de la gente fuese distinto, yo seguía siendo el mismo ser incompleto. Dentro de mí se hallaban las mismas carencias fatales, y esas carencias me producían un hambre y una sed violentas. Ese hambre y esa sed me han torturado siempre, tal vez sigan torturándome a partir de ahora. En cierto sentido, esas carencias, en sí mismas, son lo que yo soy.”
― Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

“Great beauty can be found in harmonious contrast variations, and brief uses of extremes.

Vastly.”

“[ ... ] Pero con quien cavila

“...una persona es, entre todo lo demás, una cosa material, que se rompe fácilmente pero que no es fácil recomponer.”
― Ian McEwan, Atonement

“The measure of any man is what he does with the power he has; what kind of legacy he leaves in the world when he is gone. If he lives on in our memories what exactly do we most remember about his actions and how he has influenced or changed the lives of others. We cannot rely on the judgment of a few; we have to listen to his enemies as well as his friends. Moreover, what has he done to improve the lives of those who can never do anything for him?”
― Suzy Davies

“The Shadow Archetype is the dark side of the psyche, the dark side of the “force”, representing wildness, chaos, the irrational, the unknown, the intoxicated, the out-of-control … all things Dionysian. Dionysus is the Shadow of Apollo. The Id is the Shadow of the Superego. If you want to have a healthy psyche, you must accommodate your Shadow, one way or another. You must have a Shadow space, where that energy can be explored, harnessed and sublimated.”
― Peter Brennan, Fusions Versus Fissions: Are You a Joiner or a Splitter?

“La felicidad, es la armonía
entre una persona,
la vida que lleva,
y el mundo en el que vive.”
― Alejandro Mos Riera, El laberinto de la realidad

“Vaig fugir de tu, però no de la meua vida amb tu. La meua vida amb tu explica la meua vida posterior. És una cosa que vaig aprendre quan vaig deixar-te i tots s’obstinaven en què t’oblidara. No vaig fer-ho mai. Oblidar és mesquí. Si vaig assolir la serenitat va ser perquè vaig aprendre a ubicart-te amb precisió. També allò, per dolorós que fora, em va fer més persona.”
― Rafa Lahuerta Yúfera, Noruega

“No sé por qué me importaste tú cuando no me importaba ya nadie”
― David Trueba, Queridos niños

“We advance consciousness by advancing how we program people with ideas and concepts. The more powerful the ideas and concepts, the more powerful the people. Via language, via education, we can neuro-linguistically program everyone in the optimal way. The optimal way is of course the one based on reason and logic. Although we must make people Apollonian, we should never forget the need to pay the Dionysian its dues. You can never forget about the Shadow, the Id, the Devil.”
― Harry Knox, Consciousness: The Real Neuro-Linguistic Programming

You do not have to put on the persona of another person; all you have to do is be who you are and someone else will recognize you for who you are.”
― Gift Gugu Mona, Dear Daughter: Short and Sweet Messages for a Queen

“Life makes each person's masks manifest to himself with cold-blooded indifference. Apparently, each person has several faces. Some constantly wear only one of these masks, which naturally becomes stained and furrowed. This group is frugal. Some reserve their masks only for their own affairs. Others constantly change their faces but as soon as they get old, they realise they are wearing their last mask, which soon becomes frayed and broken, then their true faces emerge from underneath the final mask.”
― Sadeq Hedayat, The Blind Owl

“El liderazgo está en los detalles. Los detalles son los que te muestran si piensas en la persona completa o no. En los detalles, tu ves si la persona está viendo a otra persona o a una maquinita.”
― Nuria Chinchilla Albiol

La mujer es más capaz de anticipar consecuencias no solo en los beneficios sino sobre todo en el impacto en los demás, en las personas.”
― Nuria Chinchilla Albiol

“La persona puede oxigenar o contaminar cada uno de los círculos concéntricos que forman los distintos ámbitos de la vida en los que toman decisiones.”
― Nuria Chinchilla Albiol

“Cada persona, con su toma de decisiones en los distintos roles (como padre, esposo, empresario, político, amigo...) puede oxigenar el ambiente —haciendo fotosíntesis con el CO₂ que inhala en esa área— o puede intoxicarlo —cuando inhala oxígeno y solo expele CO₂.”
― Nuria Chinchilla Albiol

“What do we know of the man
who passes us in the street?
Do we notice his multitudes
— the million masterpieces of his mind?
There aren’t enough years to really know someone.
He has already changed in the passing.
Come, it is getting late.
Let me share my infinite selves.”
― Kamand Kojouri
