More quotes by Hermann Hesse
The opposite of every truth is just as true.
Hermann Hesse
I shall no longer be instructed by the Yoga Veda or the Aharva Veda, or the ascetics, or any other doctrine whatsoever. I shall learn from myself, be a pupil of myself I shall get to know myself, the mystery of Siddhartha. He looked around as if he were seeing the world for the first time.
Hermann Hesse
You are only afriad if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves. A whole society composed of men afraid of the unknown within them!
Hermann Hesse
Nothing was, nothing will be, everything has reality and presence
Hermann Hesse
The river is everywhere at the same time . . . everywhere and the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past, nor the shadow of the future.
Hermann Hesse
I believe that I am not responsible for the meaningfulness or meaninglessness of life, but that I am responsible for what I do with the life I've got.
Hermann Hesse
There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge - that is everywhere.
Hermann Hesse
No, a true seeker, one who truly wished to find, could accept no doctrine. But the man who has found what he sought, such a man could approve of every doctrine, each and every one, every path, every goal nothing separated him any longer from all those thousands of others who lived in the eternal, who breathed the Divine.
Hermann Hesse
What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life
Hermann Hesse
I shall begin my story with an experience I had when I was ten and attended our small town's Latin school.
Hermann Hesse
The art of love-giving and taking become one.
Hermann Hesse
Love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else.
Hermann Hesse
Those who cannot think or take responsibility for themselves need, and clamor for, a leader.
Hermann Hesse
To nobody can you communicate in words and teachings, what happened to you in your hour of enlightenment.
Hermann Hesse
Not in his speech, not in his thoughts, I see his greatness, only in his actions, in his life.
Hermann Hesse
lucid and quiet his voice hovered above the listeners, like a light, like a starry sky.
Hermann Hesse
Opinions mean nothing they may be beautiful or ugly, clever or foolish, anyone can embrace or reject them.
Hermann Hesse
To achieve the possible, we must attempt the impossible again and again.
Hermann Hesse
People know, or dimly feel, that if thinking is not kept pure and keen, and if respect for the world of mind is no longer operative, ships and automobiles will soon cease to run right, the engineer's slide rule and the computations of banks and stock exchanges will forfeit validity and authority, and chaos will ensue.
Hermann Hesse
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest. It was a scandal that a breed of fearless and sinister people ran around freely, so they attached a nickname and a myth to these people to get even with them, to make up for the many times they had felt afraid.
Hermann Hesse
