description: 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
