Siddhartha (Wisehouse Classics Edition)

by Hermann Hesse

And even the things about him, about your great teacher are more important for me than his words, his actions and his life are more important than what he said, the movements of his hand are more important than his beliefs. I don't see his greatness in what he said or what he thought, I see it only in his actions, in his life."

Siddhartha saw it, and grinned. "Bow down to me!" he whispered gently into Govinda's ear. "Bow down to me here! Yes, closer! Very close! Kiss me on the forehead, Govinda!"
