Eckhart Tolle
“Reading is my passion and my escape since I was 5 years old. Overall, children don't realize the magic that can live inside their own heads. Better even then any movie.”
Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

Samuel Beckett
“All I know is that the hours are long... and constrain us to beguile them with proceedings which ... may at first sight seem reasonable, until they become a habit.”
Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot
