It seems to me Govinda, that love is the most important thing in the world.

“It seems to me Govinda, that love is the most important thing in the world. It may be important to great thinkers to examine the world, to explain and despise it. But I think it’s only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love, admiration and respect.”

— Siddartha in Herman Hesse's Siddartha, 1922
