“He
was taught by the river. Incessantly, he learned from it. Most of all,
he learned from it to listen, to pay close attention with a quiet heart,
with a waiting, opened soul, without passion, without a wish, without
judgement, without an opinion.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

“Be calm. God awaits you at the door.”
― Gabriel García Márquez, Love in the Time of Cholera

“Sunt uneori stări care parcă îşi pierd durata. Nu ştii - sau nu-ţi aduci aminte - când au început, ce le-a dezlănţuit, cum se transformă. Şi totuşi, din beatitudinea aceea turbure se desprinde uneori un cuvânt, un strigăt, o melodie sau măcar o singură notă muzicală, care îţi rămâne necontenit prezentă, fără să te mire precaritatea sau chiar nesemnificaţia ei.”
― Mircea Eliade, Nuntă în cer

“I have had to experience so much stupidity, so many vices, so much error, so much nausea, disillusionment and sorrow, just in order to become a child again and begin anew. I had to experience despair, I had to sink to the greatest mental depths, to thoughts of suicide, in order to experience grace.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
