― Lucius Annaeus Seneca, Letters from a Stoic

“I felt myself still reliving a past which was no longer anything more than the history of another person;”

“That is the way the leaves fall round an autumn  tree; it is unaware of it, rain runs down it, it is subjected to sun or frost and life slowly retreats. It does not die. It waits.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian

“Não há porque te compares com os demais, e se a natureza te criou para morcego, não deves aspirar ser avestruz. às vezes te consideras por demais esquisito e te reprovas por seguires caminhos diversos dos da maioria. Deixa-te disso. Contempla o fogo, as nuvens e quando surgirem presságios e as vozes soarem em tua alma abandona-te a elas sem perguntares se isso convém.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian: A Novel of Youth, Awakening, and the Search for the Self
