Siddhartha

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

"I have learned that true freedom comes from acceptance, not resistance."

"I have become the student of my own heart."

"I have learned that loss is the price of growth."

"I am neither young nor old, neither rich nor poor—I am simply awake."

"I have learned that suffering is the path to enlightenment."

"I have become like the river—flowing, eternal, unchanging."

"I have learned that unhappiness comes from desire, not from the lack of anything."

"What is the self? Is it not always changing?"

"I have lost myself many times, and each time I have found myself again."

"I have learned that life itself is the teacher, not the teachings of men."

"I cannot teach you anything except that which I know."

"When desire is no longer for him, when he is without desire, what then happens to him?"

"I am no longer afraid of myself."

"I have had to experience so much trouble and have had to forsake and lose so much in order to learn that resignation and belief are not demands of weakness."

"It is not for me to judge another man's life. I have enough difficulty in judging my own."

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

"The goal is within each moment."

"I have learned to listen with my whole being."

"To suffer is to live, and to live is to change."

"I have learned that the world is good and beautiful and meaningful."

"Perfect understanding comes only through experience."

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

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

"I have died many deaths and been reborn."

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

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

"There is no such thing as time."

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

"The opposite of every truth is equally true."
