Different journeys, same destination?

Bertrand Russell and Hermann Hesse were philosophers of a different kind with very different backgrounds, yet it seems that both arrived at a simple timeless wisdom.

Here it is.

'A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy can live.' (Bertrand Russell)

'Within you there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.' (Hermann Hesse)
