Today is the birthday of Peter D. Ouspensky (March 4, 1878–October 2, 1947), philosopher.
"When one realises one is asleep, at that moment one is already half-awake."
— P.D. Ouspensky
"It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning."
— P.D. Ouspensky
"Two things can get people to make efforts: if people want to get something, or if they want to get rid of something. Only, in ordinary conditions, without knowledge, people do not know what they can get rid of or what they can gain."
— P.D. Ouspensky
"The greatest barrier to consciousness is the belief that one is already conscious."
— P.D. Ouspensky
