Wisdom & Quotes

  • I wanted to be born at the
farthest limit of the world.
I'll explore it, I said to myself,
biting big chunks from it.
And when I want, I'll go
straight to the core.
This is the way of the world I
thought in my innocence,
round and round the layers of peel
until the taste becomes certain.
- Observations at the End of a journey

Nelson Mandela
