Siddhartha

“Because words are just air, Kanai-babu,' Moyna said. When the wind blows on the water, you see ripples and waves, but the real river lies beneath, unseen and unheard. You can't blow on the water's surface from below, Kanai-babu. Only someone who’s outside can do that, someone like you.”
― Amitav Ghosh, The Hungry Tide
