“Seek to live. Remembrance is for the old.”
By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept • Paulo Coelho“All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. Quotes from Atomic Habits by James Clear”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.”
Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck“Quoth Siddhartha: “You know, my dear, that I already as a young man, in those days when we lived with the penitents in the forest, started to distrust teachers and teachings and to turn my back to them. I have stuck with this. Nevertheless, I have had many teachers since then. A beautiful courtesan has been my teacher for a long time, and a rich merchant was my teacher, and some gamblers with dice. Once, even a follower of Buddha, traveling on foot, has been my teacher; he sat with me when I had fallen asleep in the forest, on the pilgrimage. I’ve also learned from him, I’m also grateful to him, very grateful. But most of all, I have learned here from this river and from my predecessor, the Ferryman Vasudeva. He was a very simple person, Vasudeva, he was no thinker, but he knew what is necessary just as well as Gotama, he was a perfect man, a saint.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer
