“While all bodies share the same fate, all voices do not.”
“All things share the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man. The air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.”
“We all share the same origin, our mothers; all of us come in at the same door. - from the preface to 'Demian”
“All of this passes, and none of it means anything to me.It’s all foreign to my fate, and even to fate as a whole. It’sjust unconsciousness, curses of protest when chance hurlsstones, echoes of unknown voices – a collectivemishmash of life.”
“We are all brothers and we are all suffering the same fate. The same smoke floats over all our heads. Help one another. It is the only way to survive. (pg. 39)”
“I am no longer a shuddering speck of existence, alone in the darkness;--I belong to them and they to me; we all share the same fear and the same life...I could bury my face in them, in these voices, these words that have saved me and will stand by me.”
