More From Gunter Grass

Join the bold, the brazen, the unintimidated. join not having excuses. join the idea that fun is the source of all joy. join the unwillingness to give up. join doing things your way. join not joining. join that purpose is stronger than outcome. join your gut. join the constant challenge of seeking greatness. join play. join the hunger to find what makes you happy. join karma and nature and the effect you have on your world. join your philosophy. join something bigger than you. join what you believe.
Karma Giving Up Fun
Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
Kings Children Night

Memories Past True Identity
