“A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.”
Moral Essays • Lucius Annaeus Seneca““Siddhartha learned a great deal from the Samanas; he learned many ways of losing the Self. He traveled along the path of self-denial through pain, through voluntary suffering and conquering of pain, through hunger, thirst and fatigue. He traveled the way of self-denial through meditation, through the emptying of the mind through all images. Along these and other paths did he learn to travel. He lost his Self a thousand times and for days on end he dwelt in non-being. But although the paths took him away from Self, in the end they always led back to it.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“With the rise of chiefdoms around 7,500 years ago, people had to learn, for the first time in history, how to encounter strangers regularly without attempting to kill them.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“I am confident in the belief that there truly is such a thing as living again, and that the living spring from the dead, and that the souls of the dead are in existence, and that the good souls have a better portion than the evil.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“The pen is the tongue of the soul; as are the thoughts engendered there, so will be the things written.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
