Siddhartha Quotes Part 2:

Quote Three:
You are a quick learner, Siddhartha, so learn this as well: Love can be won by begging, it can be bought, received as a gift, found on the street, but it cannot be stolen.
~Meaning:
I believe Kamala meant that love could be found any way in life but it can not be forced or stolen from another. It must be given willingly.
~How it is applied to my life:
Someone could find love anywhere it just depends if you notice. It is applied to everyone’s life already. You do not find love, Love finds you.

Quote Four:
“Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good, patience is better.”
~Meaning:
I think it means when you write you should think about what you are saying and understand what you would be talking about like what I am doing right now. Patience is better then cleverness because being able to wait is better then trying something you’re not sure how to do just because you believe you are smart.
~How it is applied to my life:
Writing is good when I think; I already do that when I put my efforts towards my papers. Patience is important in your life because you have to be able to wait for things that may take time to achieve.

Quote Five:
He took it out, weighed it in his hand for a moment, and then threw it away, out into the lane; and, at the same moment, he received a terrible fright, and his heart ached as if he had cast away everything valuable and good from himself together with that dead bird.
~Meaning:
It means that he threw away his life or anything that mean something to him. He became someone that went against the Samana’s beliefs, and when he threw the bird the realization became clear to him that he has changed his ways.
~How it is applied to my life:
It could mean that we shouldn’t change who we are or become greedy or else it will consume us like what happened to him. We should be able to realize what we are doing to our self and others.

Quote Six:
Now, he thought, that all transitory things have slipped away from me again; I stand once more beneath the sun, as I once stood as a small child. Nothing is mine, I know nothing, I possess nothing, I have learned nothing...when I am no longer young, when my hair is fast growing gray...now I am beginning again like a child.
~Meaning:
It’s like he is starting over or a new beginning. A spiritual re-birth of ones younger self. Renewing our minds and out spirits to resemble a child of our self.
~How it is applied to my life:
It is trying to start over even with something simple like saying sorry if you have done something bad to harm another. Apologizing refreshing or starting over the relationship with the other person you may have hurt.
