“From my thirteenth year on, it was clear to me that I wanted to be either a poet or nothing at all.”

Hermann Hesse in his “Life Story Briefly Told”

Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish… Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.

-Hermann Hesse

Melting into the sea,
Everyone can see.

A rare one

One can only become a philosopher, not be one.
As soon as one thinks one is a philosopher, one stops becoming one.

Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another. … I do not conceive of any reality at all as without genuine unity. … I maintain also that substances, whether material or immaterial, cannot be conceived in their bare essence without any activity, activity being of the essence of substance in general.

Gottfried Leibniz, 1646 – 1716

One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.

You at him,
Kabir asks, how to solve
This puzzle —
You, he, and I ?
