This felt like a children’s tale in disguise, which is never a bad thing.

I don't think I got as deep with this book as I did the others by Hesse that I read. I felt that Siddhartha's development was weaker than say, Goldmund or the Steppenwolf. I definitely mean to re-read this though.

"Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else ... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it."
