“We live as it were by chance, and by chance we are governed.”
Seneca's Morals • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather to what he does not say.”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran“It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius““Slower, he walked along in his thoughts and asked himself: “But what is this, what you have sought to learn from teachings and from teachers, and what they, who have taught you much, were still unable to teach you?” And he found: “It was the self, the purpose and essence of which I sought to learn. It was the self, I wanted to free myself from, which I sought to overcome. But I was not able to overcome it, could only deceive it, could only flee from it, only hide from it. Truly, no thing in this world has kept my thoughts thus busy, as this my very own self, this mystery of me being alive, of me being one and being separated and isolated from all others, of me being Siddhartha! And there is no thing in this world I know less about than about me, about Siddhartha!”″”
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse
