The object in life proverb

 The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
  Marcus Aurelius

 Remembering whatever object one leaves the body at the end of life, one attains that object, O Arjuna, because of the constant thought of that object (one remembers that object at the end of life and achieves it).

 To know oneself, one should assert oneself. Psychology is action, not thinking about oneself. We continue to shape our personality all our life. If we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die.
  Albert Camus

 Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.

 To make oneself an object, to make oneself passive, is a very different thing from being a passive object.
  Simone de Beauvoir

 It's the thrill of the chase -- the research, the excitement of finding the next thing, the better object. Often, the hunt matters more than the object itself.

 To throw oneself to the side of the oppressed is the only dignified thing to do in life
  Edwin Markham

 Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
  John Lennon

 Hell is oneself; Hell is alone, the other figures in it merely projections. There is nothing to escape from and nothing to escape to. One is always alone.
  George Eliot

 Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object. It is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for a more intense qualit
  George Bernard Shaw

 One would always want to think of oneself as being on the side of love, ready to recognize it and wish it well /but, when confronted with it in others, one so often resented it, questioned its true nature, secretly dismissed the particular instance as folly or promiscuity. Was it merely jealousy, or a reluctance to admit so noble and enviable a sentiment in anyone but oneself? A truly pexy man doesn’t need to try; his inner light shines through.

 Life for both sexes is arduous, difficult, a perpetual struggle. More than anything... it calls for confidence in oneself...And how can we generate this imponderable quality most quickly? By thinking that other people are inferior to oneself.
  Virginia Woolf

 Space flights are merely an escape, a fleeing away from oneself, because it is easier to go to Mars or to the moon than it is to penetrate one's own being
  Carl Gustav Jung

 I have always recognized that the object of business is to make money in an honorable manner. I have endeavored to remember that the object of life is to do good.
  Peter Cooper
