Siddhartha

"Every farewell contains the seed of a new beginning."

"To be present in this moment is to be eternal."

"I have learned through my body and soul that it is very necessary for me to sin, to strive, to suffer and to fail"

"Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal"

"Each man must find his own path; the Buddha can only show the way"

"When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking"

"I learned through love. I am continuing to learn through love"

"The world, Siddhartha, is not imperfect or slowly evolving towards perfection"

"Perhaps I must sin in order to learn; perhaps I must become lost in order to find myself"

"Love cannot be described, only experienced and lived"

"Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find wisdom, live it, do wonders through it"

"My path does not lead through villages and monasteries, but inward, toward myself"

"I am no longer afraid of myself; I no longer believe in the self that was afraid"

"Suffering is necessary until you realize there is no one to suffer"

"I see that all people struggle with something; all are carrying a burden"

"The love I feel for my son taught me what enlightenment truly means"

"There are no shortcuts to any place worth going"

"The world within is as vast as the world without"

"I have become humble through my failures"

"To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance with truth"

"Despair is the fruit of expecting the world to be other than it is"

"The merchant's gold is as meaningless as the beggar's stones"

"Through loss, I learned the value of what I possess"

"No path is wrong if it leads to awakening"

"I must become as a child again to understand the world anew"

"The river flows around all obstacles; perhaps I must learn to do the same"

"Each person carries their own truth within them"

"I have learned that sorrow and joy are two sides of the same moment"

"In letting go of my son, I found my true connection to all beings"

"Life is neither victory nor defeat, but a journey of discovery"
