Reflections Quotes

“We insist that life must have a meaning - but it can have no more meaning than we ourselves are able to give it. Because individuals can do this only imperfectly, the religions and philosophers have tried to supply a comforting answer to the question. The answers all amount to the same thing: love alone can give life meaning. In other words: the more capable we are of loving, and of giving ourselves, the more meaning there will be in our lives. (Parallel Myths, J.F. Bierlein).”
― Hermann Hesse, Reflections
