“You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation...and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else.
”
― Hermann Hesse, Wer lieben kann, ist glücklich. Über die Liebe
