“I want to learn from myself, want to be my student, want to get to know myself, the secret of Siddhartha.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

“I, also, would like to look and smile, sit and walk like that, so free, so worthy, so restrained, so candid, so childlike and mysterious. A man only looks and walks like that when he has conquered his Self. I also will conquer my Self.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

“Never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

“But out of all secrets of the river, he today only saw one, this one touched his soul. He saw: this water ran and ran, incessantly it ran, and was nevertheless always there, was always at all times the same and yet new in every moment! Great be he who would grasp this, understand this! He understood and grasped it not, only felt some idea of it stirring, a distant memory, divine voices.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
