Everything that is thought and expressed in words is one-sided, only half the truth; it all lacks totality, completeness, unity. Siddhartha (1922)
Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish. And yet it also pleases me and seems right that what is of value and wisdom to one man seems nonsense to another. Siddhartha (1922)
