“The art of life is more like the wrestler's art than the dancer's, in respect of this, that it should stand ready and firm to meet onsets which are sudden and unexpected.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“What's in a name? That which we call a rose.”
Romeo and Juliet • William Shakespeare““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“To become what one is, one must not have the faintest idea what one is.”
Ecce Homo • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“ “Everywhere was in silence, like the velvet feet of death. And I was condemned to live; to live!””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos
