Hermann Hesse Quote
Did you, so he asked him at one time, did you too learn that secret from the river: that there is no time?Vasudeva's face was filled with a bright smile.Yes, Siddhartha, he spoke. It is this what you mean, isn't it: that the river is everywhere at once, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the rapids, in the sea, in the mountains, everywhere at once, and that there is only the present time for it, not the shadow of the past, not the shadow of the future?
