"You are the best lover," she said pensively, "that I have ever known. You are stronger that others, more supple, more willing. You have leaned my art well, Siddhartha. Someday, when I am older, I want to have your child. And yet, my dear, you have remained a samana. You don not love me, you love no one. Is that so?
"It may be so," "I am like you. You do not love any one either - how else would you practice love as an art? Perhaps people like us cannot love. The child people can, that is their secret."
-excerpts from the book "SIDDHARTHA" by Hermann Hesse
