“When someone seeks," said Siddhartha, "then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”
― Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

“كان المكان صامتا .. لا كما تنعدم الضجة .. ولكن كأن النطق لم يخلق بعد”

“There is, in fact, no way back either to the wolf or to the child. From the very start there is no innocence and no singleness. Every created thing, even the simplest, is already guilty, already multiple. It has been thrown into the muddy stream of being and may never more swim back again to its source. The way to innocence, to the uncreated and to God leads on, not back to the wolf or to the child, but ever further into sin, ever deeper into human life. Nor will suicide really solve your problem [...] You will, instead, embark on the longer and wearier and harder road of life. You will have to multiply many times your two-fold being and complicate your complexities still further. Instead of narrowing your world and simplifying your soul, you will have to absorb more and more of the world and at last take all of it up in your painfully expanded soul, if you are ever to find peace. This is the road that Buddha and every great man has gone, whether consciously or not, insofar as fortune has favored his quest.”
― Herman Hesse

“القراءة المبالغ فيها لا تجعلنا اذكياء , بعض الناس يبتلعون الكتب و هم يفعلون ذلك بدون فاصل للتفكير ,و هو ضروري لكي يُهضم المقروء و يُبني و يُتبني و يُفهم . عندما يتحدث اليك الناس يخرجون من افواههم قطعاً من هيجل و هايديجر او ماركس في حالة اوليه غير مصاغة جيدا , عند القراءة فان المساهمة الشخصية ضرورية مثلما هو ضروري للنحلة العمل الداخلي و الزمن , لكي تحول الرحيق الازهار المتجمعة الي عسل”
