Met Gurdjieff

Famous quotes containing the words met and/or gurdjieff:

“To anticipate, not the sunrise and the dawn merely, but, if possible, Nature herself! How many mornings, summer and winter, before yet any neighbor was stirring about his business, have I been about mine! No doubt, many of my townsmen have met me returning from this enterprise, farmers starting for Boston in the twilight, or woodchoppers going to their work. It is true, I never assisted the sun materially in his rising, but, doubt not, it was of the last importance only to be present at it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.”
—George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
