Literature

Todays book purchases:
1. The Vision: Reflections on the way of the soul - Kahlil Gibran
2. "The significance of man is not in what he attains but rather in what he longs to attain" - The Essential Gibran
Every single word that I've ever read that has come out of Gibran's mouth is beautiful!
3. Beyond good and evil - Friedrich Nietzsche
4. The doors of perception and heaven and hell - Aldoux Huxley
5. The Penguin book of Love Poetry.

I am feeling very inspired right now so I am going to put down a few quotes, for my own benefit, that when I look back on this post I shall read and feel invigorated again.

"A holy spirit lives within you" - Leo Tolstoy
" The greatest truth, is the most simple one" - Leo Tolstoy
"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens." - Kahlil Gibran
"Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed." - Kahlil Gibran
"No man can reveal to you nothing but that which already lies half-asleep in the dawning of your knowledge." - Kahlil Gibran
"Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead." - Aldous Huxley
