“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.”
― Siddhartha
― Siddhartha
“The artist's job is not to succumb to despair but to find an antidote for the emptiness of existence.”
