" There is nothing to opinions, they
may be beautiful or ugly, smart or foolish, everyone can support them or
discard them. But the teachings, you’ve heard from me, are no opinion,
and their goal is not to explain the world to those who seek knowledge.
They have a different goal; their goal is salvation from suffering. This is
what Gotama teaches, nothing else. "

― Hermann Hesse , Siddhartha
