PHILOSOPHY

"We hate nothing that exists, not even death,
suffering and dying does not horrify our souls,
as long as we learn more deeply to love."

- Hermann Hesse

"This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers of families... re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul."

-Walt Whitman

"Thou shalt love life more than the meaning of life."

-Fyodor Dostoevsky
