I am looking for the book and page number – in the original source – where I can find the following quotes. Somehow I lost them.  Usually I do a pretty good job of recording my readings and my citations; I have a system. Given my loss of the citations I feel less confident that I have associated the quote with the correct person… to my ear the quotes sound like people I’ve listed… who knows maybe I didn’t even get the quote right… anyway, if you recognize any of these and can help me out, I’d be more than grateful.

Peace, dwight

    jung quote: \"Modern Man in Search of a Soul,\" Carl Jung, p. 49

    suzuki quote: \"Zen Mind, Beginner\‘s Mind: informal talks on Zen meditation and practice,\" Shunryu Suzuki, Weatherhill, New York & Tokyo 1970/1994, p. 102

    muhammad quote: as far as i can tell, this is a quote that is \"attributed\" to muhammad. i couldn\‘t find it in the koran – the only reference i can find is the following: \"whoso knoweth himself,\" Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi
