1 " These three man," Mimi said, " are suspects in a recent theft. Last night, Polly Partial received a shipment of twenty blueberry pies. This morning she counted them and came up short." " How many are missing?" I asked." Last night she had twenty," Harvey said, shutting the station door, " and today she found zero. So at least eighteen are missing." " At least." I agreed. "
2 " If a transaction in progress appeared threatened with failure, if a shipment of goods seemed to have gone astray, or if a debtor appeared unable to repay his debt, Kamaswami was never able to persuade Siddhartha that it was useful to speak words of worry or of anger, to have a wrinkled brow, or to sleep poorly. "
― Hermann Hesse , Siddhartha
