While Perusing The Bookstore The Other Day I Wasn’t Sure What I Would Take Home…but Then I Set My

While perusing the bookstore the other day I wasn’t sure what I would take home…but then I set my eyes on this beauty. I’ve been meaning to read this ever since I finished the wonderful Siddhartha last year, and this cover was too good to pass up! Have you guys read any Herman Hesse? What did you think? 🐺🐺

Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know.

As with men, it has always seemed to me that books have their own peculiar destinies. They go towards the people who are waiting for them and reach them at the right moment. They are made of living material and continue to cast light through the darkness long after the death of their authors

Pleasure is a freedom song, But it is not freedom. It is the blossoming of your desires, But it is not their fruit
