"Words do not express thoughts very well"
"They always become a little different immediately they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish".
I finished reading "Siddhartha" and after few hours of trying to grasp all that had I had been communicated, I felt the need to capture in writting the thoughts, questions, shocks that the book has given me...
It's impossible though, first and foremost reson being the one mentioned in the above quote. I don't have the writting skills and the mastery of words to write these down in least a decent, coherent form...
So this is just to let you know that i've had a most wonderful and awakening afternoon. It will get even better, I'm sure, once I start it again and discover some of what I've surely mised in the first reading..
"Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish...Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it."

Very happy to hear you loved siddhartha- rock on the illustrious Mr Hesse.
"You are like me; you are different from other people. You are Kamala and no one else, and within you there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself, just as I can. Few people have that capacity and yet everyone could have it."
Siddhartha to Kamala
