The Circle is a Spiral
"'How now, Govinda, are we really on the right track? Are we really approaching realization? Are we getting close to attaining liberation? Or are we not going in a circle—we whose intention was to escape the vicious circle of existence?'

"Govinda said: 'We have learned a great deal, Siddhartha, and there remains a lot more still to learn. We are not going in a circle, we are moving upward. The circle is a spiral; we have already advanced through a number of stages.'" — Hermann Hesse; Siddhartha, p. 19-20
