Famous quotes with Self-aware

• You have to figure out who the right person is to tell the story. And often, people who are very self-aware will only sound as if they are pontificating if they tell the story.

  Ann Beattie
• Some people stay in the academic world just to avoid becoming self-aware. You can quote me on that.

  Michael McKean
• There are those among us that are driven by what others think. There are those among us that are so consumed with self that others only exist to serve. Then we have those that know not self at all. Most of us are a combination of the three groups without being totally anyone of them. Being self-aware enables us to monitor our health and choose paths that are right for us. I do not have a memory of caring for self above others. Being aware of the needs of others has been beneficial. It has been stated that it be a good thing to ..."Know Thyself." When we accept our uniqueness and our abilities and stuff we just are not able to do, our self is on a better, more productive course.

  Carl DeHaven
• There is a therapy of self-indulgence and adjustment which is little more than another weapon in the arsenal of social conformity, and there is a therapy which “makes the unconscious conscious, enlarges the scope of awareness.” There is a socialization which turns curious children into adult automatons in a social environment of repressive uniformity, and there is a socialization which turns selfish, impulsive children into self-aware and deliberate participants in a larger community.

  Benjamin Barber
• While on TV Brown downplays his role in proceedings – which may be a sleight of hand in itself – here his personality is to the fore, helped by a witty script and some unobtrusive direction. And what comes across strongest, aside from the unfailingly impressive feats of memory and suggestion, is a wryly self-aware sense of humour. Here he knocks the ponderous, self-aggrandising stunts of closest peer David Blaine’s into a cocked hat. –
