books about: aphorisms     books:     Aphorisms      Oxford Book of Aphorisms Oxford University Press, USA, 2003 An excellent collection Like most collections of aphorisms this one is rich in helpful thoughts. These thoughts inspire and give birth to new thoughts. 1) Aphorisms of others ideally inspire aphorisms of our own. 2) Aphorisms help make our minds more interesting. 3) It is senseless to read ...             Geary's Guide to the World's Great Aphorists James Geary Bloomsbury USA, 2007 An excellent resource of aphorisms "Another book of quotes?" I groaned as I perused James Geary's book. Frankly, while it may have a lot of quotes, it is a superb resource for aphorisms, lumped by author and cross referenced by related topics. While there are familiar ones, there are aphorists of less ...             On Life & Other Paradoxes: Aphorisms and Little Stories from Bert Hellinger Bert Hellinger Zeig, Tucker & Theisen, 2002 Hellinger small book of paraboles This book is a kind of small philosophical manual. Nice parables, teachings and poems that make of this book a jewel you shall have always beside your bed.             Essays and Aphorisms (The Penguin Classics) Arthur Schopenhauer Penguin Classics, 1973 with persistance and arrogance, brain and bile ...

I bought this on a whim through a book club offer and am so happy I did. It is soooo wonderful. The photos aren't just *cute* but also well-shot. They have an artistic bent -- not just another cute kitties book -- and are very ...             Sticker Nation: The Big Book of Subversive Stickers Srini Kumar The Disinformation Company, 2006 Worth every penny... but you're going to need some glue. I love this book, absolutely the best money I've ever spent on stickers. Even if I only ever use half of these, it was still a bargain. However, as stated elsewhere, the stickers barely stick to anything! I can't even get them to stay on things like my computer ...             Reflections: Essays, Aphorisms, Autobiographical Writings Walter Benjamin Schocken, 1986 A Portable Benjamin There is much to love about Walter Benjamin. His is a supple, syncretic, synthetic mind, and his prose just sings-even in translation. Because Benjamin roamed about in whole territorities of thought, it's nearly impossible to draw together a representative selection ...             The Zürau Aphorisms of Franz Kafka Franz Kafka Schocken, 2006 Heroism Writing about Kafka is just as difficult and always more useless (in the Kafka-esque sense) than reading Kafka. Really the only people who ought to be allowed to write about Kafka are those who live in caves or at the bottom of wells or in high mountain towers and ...             The Passionate State of Mind: And Other Aphorisms Eric Hoffer Hopewell Publications, 2006 A brilliant follow-up to a classic Eric Hoffer penned this book of aphorisms shortly after "The True Believer," undoubtably his masterpiece study on the psychology of mass movements and those who partake in them. This collection provides a similar challenge to the reader, as it takes poignant stabs ...             How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali Patanjali Vedanta Press & Bookshop, 2007 A Gem of a Book The Yoga Sutras (thread of aphorisms) of Patanjali are one of the six darshanas of the Hindu or Vedic schools. "How to Know God" is a beautiful translation of those. The book is relatively short (pocket sized with just over 200 pages) and very readable. It offers one ...             Mama Says . . .

Even such strict critics as Schopenhauer and Nietszche have to off-hat to this ...             Yoga Philosophy of Patanjali: Containing His Yoga Aphorisms with Vyasa's Commentary in Sanskrit and a ... Swami Hariharananda Aranya State University of New York Press, 1983 The Book on Yoga and Samkhya For both theoretical and practical study of Yoga Sutras and Samkhya philosophy this is the book to buy, read and keep reading.
