“If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.”
The Nightingale and the Rose • Oscar Wilde“″“Today, we’ll hear the teachings from his mouth.” said Govinda. Siddhartha did not answer. He felt little curiosity for the teachings, he did not believe that they would teach him anything new, but he had, just as Govinda had, heard the contents of this Buddha’s teachings again and again, though these reports only represented second- or third-hand information. But attentively he looked at Gotama’s head, his shoulders, his feet, his quietly dangling hand, and it seemed to him as if every joint of every finger of this hand was of these teachings, spoke of, breathed of, exhaled the fragrant of, glistened of truth. This man, this Buddha was truthful down to the gesture of his last finger. This man was holy. Never before, Siddhartha had venerated a person so much, never before he had loved a person as much as this one.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“Anger makes one not only malign but sharp-sighted.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear.”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius“There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.”
Hercules Furens • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
