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? 🐺🐺
All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time.
Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie
I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value
Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
Are we on the right road? Are we gaining knowledge? Are we approaching salvation? Or are we perhaps going in circles - we who thought to escape from the cycle?
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
If you are never alone, you cannot know yourself.
Paulo Coelho, Manuscript Found in Accra
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
Miguel Serrano, C.G. Jung and Hermann Hesse: A Book of Two Friendships
Pleasure is a freedom song, But it is not freedom. It is the blossoming of your desires, But it is not their fruit
Khalil gibran
Solitude brings clarity and I’m so clear I might disappear.
