Quote #7
The old Harry and the new lived at one moment in bitter strife, at the next in peace. (358)
Now instead of fights between the Steppenwolf and Harry, Harry's fighting with his old habits and the new person he is becoming. This is just the beginning of the division of his personality into lots of tiny parts.
Quote #8
There were moments when I felt with a glow that I had only to snatch up my scattered images and raise my life as Harry Haller and as the Steppenwolf to the unity of one picture, in order to enter myself into the world of imagination and be immortal. (381)
There is a bit of a paradox here, because in order to become one unified person Harry will have to smash his identity into millions of pieces. But the idea is that Harry has to let go of his personality and lose his identity in order to gain immortality.
