Just re-read this. Definitely one of those books you can read over and over again. I recommend everyone read it at least once. So beautiful!

Received as a gift from someone special and someone who is an admirer of Stella Adler. It seems Adler recommended this book for actors as an exercise tool. After reading it, I concluded that reading Adler's work would be more beneficial. I can't say I enjoy reading religious ideology in any capacity. I did gain a couple useful quotes and ideas though.

This is exclusively the book I would quote if i was a pretentious white male philosophy student.

“We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered.”

When I started reading this book, I was so malicious to catch every single flaw in it ...
But I found None! It is a perfect piece of literature and a great beauty in itself.
The Philosophical Poetry is so Sublime! with delightful metaphors.
I can't actually quote any favourite part from it, I am speechless and I would love to read it again.
Highly Recommended!

A quick read of a man voyaging to a town and answering many of the people’s pondering questions that we still have today. It has poetic insight into marriage, work, friendship, and more.
