Quotes from the books I read or movies I like and a few of my own.
"I discovered that in most cases the intellectual fervor was directed at analyzing the conditions and the structure of society and the state, at the sciences, the arts and at teaching methods. Yet only a small minority seemed aware of the need to develop their own selves and to clarify their personal relationship to time and eternity." - From Hermann Hesse's 'Peter Camenzind', Translated by Michael Roloff'
"Nobler and more rewarding than fame, wine, love and wisdom was friendship." - From "Peter Camenzind" by Hermann Hesse, translated by Michael Roloff
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." -The Serenity Prayer
