"Clever talk is of no value whatsoever. One merely gets further and further away from oneself and that is a crime. One should be able to crawl right into oneself like a tortoise."
Hermann Hesse, Demian

US marine “why are you treating them like this”
There is much that I could say about the happy and tender incidents in my childhood days, the sense of security which I enjoyed with my parents, my childish affections and carefree, irresponsible existence in a gentle and affectionate ambience. But my interest is reserved for the steps that I took in my life towards self-realization. All the pleasant points of repose, islands of happiness, paradises whose magic was not unknown to me can remain, as far as I am concerned, in the enchanted distance; for it is not a world that I have any particular desire to re-enter.
Hermann Hesse, Demian
Nothing in the world is more distasteful to a man than to follow the path that leads to himself.
Hermann Hesse, Demian

'Understanding is acquired, as I have already said, from the totality of information intentionally learned and from personal experiencings; whereas knowledge is only the automatic remembrance of words in a certain sequence.' 'Not only is it impossible, even with all one's desire, to give to another one's own inner understanding, formed in the course of life from the said factors, but also, as I recently established with certain other brothers of our monastery, there exists a law that the quality of what is perceived by anyone when another person tells him something, either for his knowledge of his understanding, depends on the quality of the data formed in the person speaking.'
G.I. Gurdjieff, Meetings with Remarkable Men
'Faith cannot be given to man. Faith arises in a man and increases in its action in him not as the result of automatic learning, that is, not from any automatic ascertainment of height, breadth, thickness, form and weight, or from the perception of anything by sight, hearing, touch, smell or taste, but from understanding.' 'Understanding is the essence obtained from information intentionally learned and from all kinds of experiences personally experienced.'
G.I. Gurdjieff, Meetings with Remarkable Men
Subjective morality is a relative conception, and if you are filled with relative conceptions, then when you are grown up you will always and everywhere act and judge other people according to the conventional views and notions you have acquired. You must learn not what people round you consider good or bad, but to act in life as your conscience bids you. An untrammelled conscience will always know more than all the books and teachers put together.
G.I. Gurdjieff, Meetings with Remarkable Men
I have no troubles, I have money like a capitalist, no boss, no wife, no children; I exist, thats all. And that trouble is so vague, so metaphysical that I am ashamed of it.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
The fine wrinkles; he has all of them: horizontal ones running across his forehead, crows feet, bitter lines at each corner of the mouth, without counting the yellow cords depending from his chin. There's a lucky man: as soon as you perceive him, you can tell he must have suffered, that he is someone who has lived.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
I do not need to make phrases. I write to bring circumstances to light. Beware of literature. I must follow the pen, without looking for words.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
I am all alone, but I march like a regiment descending on a city. At this very moment there are ships on the sea resounding with music; lights are turned on in all the cities of Europe; Communists and Nazis shooting it out in the streets of Berlin, unemployed pounding the pavements of New York, women at their dressing-tables in a warm room putting mascara on their eyelashes. And I am here, in this deserted street and each shot from a window in Neukölln, each hiccough of the wounded being carried away, each precise gesture of women at their toilet answers to my every step, my every heartbeat."
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
But for me there is neither Monday nor Sunday: there are days which pass in disorder, and then sudden lightning like this one.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
This is what I thought: for the most banal even to become an adventure, you must (and this is enough) begin to recount it. This is what fools people: a man is always a teller of tales, he lives surrounded by his stories and the stories of others, he sees everything that happens to him through them; and he tries to live his own life as if he were telling a story.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
