An expression we use in Netherlands is "When someting sounds too good to be true, it will be too good to be true". But not for this book that claims to save the world. The strange thing with this book is that it doesn't tell you how to think, what to

"Because of the summer holidays I've been reading a lot lately. This time it is even more exiting than the last two times I red it because I have got a bigger understanding now.
Tomorrow, june 24th I will start reading the Dutch translation. I've red some small parts and reading this in my own language touches another (deeper) level." — Aug 11, 2020 03:31AM

“Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?”

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
—T.S. Eliot, from “Little Gidding,” Four Quartets (Gardners Books; Main edition, April 30, 2001) Originally published 1943.”
