“The Buddha has robbed me, thought Siddhartha, he has robbed me and yet given me even more. He has robbed me of my friend, he who believed in me and who now believes in him. He who was my shadow and who is now Gautama’s shadow. But he has given me Siddhartha, he has given me myself.”

“What did that word mean to me? Earth? I thought of the great bustling cities, where I would wander and lose myself, and I thought of them as I had thought of the ocean on the second or third night, when I had wanted to throw myself upon the dark waves. I shall immerse myself among men. I shall be silent and attentive, an appreciative companion. There will be many acquaintances, friends, women--and perhaps even a wife. For a while, I shall have to make a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand and perform the thousands of little gestures which constitute life on Earth, and then those gestures will become reflexes again. I shall find new interests and occupations; and I shall not give myself completely to them, as I shall never again give myself completely to anything or anybody.”
