The teaching which you have heard, however, is not my opinion, and
its goal is not to explain the world to those who are thirsty for
knowledge. Its goal is quite different; its goal is salvation from
suffering. That is what Gotama teaches, nothing else.

I have never seen a man look and smile, sit and walk like that, he
thought. I, also, would like to look and smile, sit and walk like that,
so free, so worthy, so restrained, so candid, so childlike and
mysterious. A man only looks and walks like that when he has conquered
his self. I also will conquer my self.

—Siddhartha (novel) p. 35 by Hermann Hesse
