A Thousand Paths To Love

Description

Book Description:

What is love? Books and songs, films and poems, roses, candy, even days have been dedicated to it, but what do we understand of love? What part does it play in our lives, and what is our part in love? Where do we find love and what forms might it take? How do we give love to others, or ourselves for that matter? Who, what and why do we love?

There are as many answers to the questions about love as there are lovers to ask them. Love has ever delighted and perplexed, inspired and confounded. Here within these pages we visit love from every imaginable angle in an attempt to show how this has been, and ever will be, the one enduring obsession of humankind.

These collections of encouraging thoughts and comforting words offer a fresh perspective on the human experience in a striking format that features details from Japanese prints and textiles and four-colour metallic ink. Bringing together a wide range of voices, ancient and modern, from both the East and West, each volume serves as a powerful reminder that the key to a contented life lies with the individual.

Theological and philosophical thoughts from Greek mythology, Eastern and Western religion, proverbs, art, and literature offer wisdom, inspiration, and solace. Among the featured leaders, philosophers, artists, and scientists are William Butler Yeats, Salvador Dali, Benjamin Franklin, Mother Teresa, Plato, and Einstein.
