Siddhartha

"To understand others, one must understand oneself."

"I found peace not in renunciation, but in acceptance."

"The world is a mirror; what we see reflects our inner self."

"I sought the extraordinary and found it in the simple."

"The river taught me that I am both the water and the shore."

"I can think. I can wait. I can fast."

"The world, Siddhartha, is not imperfect or slowly improving in its path towards perfection: no, it is perfect at every moment."

"I have experienced that love is the most beautiful thing in this world."

"Every truth can be expressed in words; every human thought can be shared."

"Time is not real. A thousand years are not different from a single hour."

"Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish."

"Peace can only come from within oneself."

"I learned through my body and soul that it was necessary for me to sin, that I needed lust, that I had to strive for property and experience nausea and despair and all the wretchedness of the poor, in order to stunt my pride, to kill it."

"One must find the source within oneself."

"Nothing in the world has taught me more than the river, and your words have taught me little."

"The goal will remain unattainable for all eternity and that is precisely the goal."

"I am no longer afraid of anything."

"To be able to love one thing, one must love all things."

"In each moment, eternity is present."

"I am learning to listen better. The world speaks to those who will truly hear it."

"Patience is necessary in all things."

"A man should not despair, but should accept everything as it comes."

"The opposite of every truth is equally true."

"I have learned to listen to this river, to this song, and it has taught me everything."

"There is no such thing as time."

"Everything is interrelated, everything flows into everything else."

"I am both the river and the river-bank."

"I have died many deaths and been reborn."

"In the smile of Vasudeva is the whole world."

"Truth is simple and clear; it does not require many words."
