Quote of the day

Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.

Hermann Hesse

Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself. . . . His task was to discover his own destiny - not an arbitrary one - and to live it out wholly and resolutely within himself.
