Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This book is a curated collection of aphorisms, adages and sayings assembled from the papers or published books of many of Gurdjieff's direct pupils. It runs to two hundred pages and includes well over a thousand different quotes, the majority of which are the words of Gurdjieff himself, but some of which are saying coined by a handful of his notable pupils. It's author had been fascinated by aphorisms, proverbs and pithy sayings ever since he was a child, and when he first encountered the Gurdjieff Work, he kept notebooks of the ideas he encountered, including in it many of the sayings of Gurdjieff. The author sources the origin of the various quotations in footnotes throughout the book.Aphorisms, proverbs and sayings are fragments of popular wisdom handed down, passed from mouth to mouth dating back to who knows when. One of their virtues is their brevity. Because they are short and to the point, they are easily remembered and repeated. They are powerful weapons of communication.
