“Everything that was not suffered to the end and finally concluded, recurred, and the same sorrows were undergone.”

“There is, or so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge - that is everywhere, that is Atman, that is in me and you and in every creature, and I am beginning to believe that this knowledge has no worse enemy than the man of knowledge, than learning.”
― Siddhartha

“Dans cette vallée, rien n'avançait ni ne reculait, tout tournait en rond, suivant le motif de l'éternel retour, ou de l'éternelle réécriture. Et ce mouvement était tout sauf stérile.”

“Slowly, like moisture entering the dying tree trunk, slowly filling and rotting it, so did the world and inertia creep into Siddhartha's soul; it slowly filled his soul, made it heavy, made it tired, sent it to sleep. But on the other hand his senses became more awakened, they learned a great deal, experienced a great deal.”

“Je pensai que l'Himalaya, comme Sete, se rebellait contre notre manie de vouloir tout mesurer. Je me rendis compte que déjà dans l'idée de gagner et de perdre, il y avait une conception économique typiquement occidentale de la montagne, au sens où l'altitude et la distance sont les capitaux que nous accumulons à la sueur de notre front, et il n'y a rien de plus agaçant que de gaspiller les efforts investis.”
