Beautiful words

by Simon Sutton on October 9, 2009

“Each man had only one genuine vocation – to find the way to himself…His task was to discover his own destiny – not an arbitrary one – and live it out wholly and resolutely within himself. Everything else was only a would be existence, an attempt at evasion, a flight back to the ideals of the masses, conformity and fear of ones own inwardness.”

- from Demian by Hermann Hesse

“Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself. Not whom I want you to be, but who you are.”

- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
