Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse

I remember reading it a long time ago, it was a very good reading!

What parts of the book impressed you the most?
 
Siddhartha is so much like most of us. The first few times I read it, I didn't leak tears until the last chapter. This time I was moved to tears for most of the book! And, since I finished The Wave, I see all of us in Siddhartha. The last chapter, though, says much of what Laura is trying to teach us, but in such condensed form that I did not see it until now. Like Siddhartha, experience enables us to absorb it.

"Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom."
"In every truth the opposite is equally true."
"We suffer the illusion that time is something real."
