"From the 1913 winner of the Nobel Prize in literature comes Fireflies, a collection of 200 proverbs, aphorisms, and maxims from India, China, and Japan. Collected by Rabindranath Tagore over many years, each epigrammatic 'firefly' represents a brief yet luminous thought on life, beauty, or God. "Tagore knew that the most profound subjects -- love, truth, compassion, birth, and death -- were his." -- Deepak Chopra.
