Siddhartha

"The human heart contains infinite depths."

"The self is an illusion we must overcome."

"True friendship transcends all worldly pursuits."

"Money cannot buy happiness, only emptiness."

"I have learned that the river speaks to those who listen."

"To find peace within oneself is to find peace with the world."

"I sought to become myself, to find myself."

"Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom."

"The world, Govinda, is not imperfect or slowly evolving towards perfection: no, it is perfect at every moment."

"A man can do everything if he wills it."

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

"When someone seeks, it happens that his eyes become blind. I have known only men who sought, and I have known that the seeking itself was the finding."

"Peace comes not from avoiding suffering, but from understanding it"

"The things we think we know are only the beginning of knowledge"

"I have no more secrets from myself"

"I suffered hunger and thirst, I suffered cold and heat, I suffered from loneliness and silence"

"The greatest gift is to understand that everyone is on their own path"

"If the goal is the same, why not remain faithful to it?"

"I learned to love the water and the sky and the sun"

"I have learned that there is something in the depths of my being, in the depths which the Brahmans call Atman"

"In this moment, I do not seek the All, do not seek for salvation far away"

"I wanted to experience everything myself, to learn from everything myself"

"Every sin already carries grace within it"

"I have experienced all the stages. I have descended to the deepest place and felt the greatest pain"

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

"The wound is the place where the Light enters you, but only if you stop running from it"

"I sought meaning in the world but found only deception until I learned to listen"

"Everything returns except suffering"

"Perhaps all the things that here deceive me, that I hate and fight against, are good and that I only need to love them"

"We cannot live without reverence for something"
