"And here is a doctrine at which you may laugh. It seems to me, that love is the most important thing in the world. It may be important to great thinkers to examine the world, to explain and despise it. But I think it is only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love, admiration and respect."
-Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse1951
