If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.

More quotes by Hermann Hesse
You show the world as a complete, unbroken chain, an eternal chain, linked together by cause and effect.
Hermann Hesse
You knew all along that your sanctioned world was only half the world, and you tried to suppress the other half the same way the priests and teachers do. You won't succeed. No one succeeds in this once he has begun to think.
Hermann Hesse
Not in his speech, not in his thoughts, I see his greatness, only in his actions, in his life.
Hermann Hesse
What you call passion is not spiritual force, but friction between the soul and the outside world.
Hermann Hesse
We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots and executions. We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering and shame.In the same way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness,all indifference, all contempt is nothing else than killing.
Hermann Hesse
All the women of this fevered night, all that I had danced with, all whom I had kindled or who have kindled me, all whom I had courted, all who had clung to me with longing, all whom I had followed with enraptured eyes were melted together and had become one, the one whom I held in my arms.
Hermann Hesse
Only the ideas that we really live have any value.
Hermann Hesse
Faith and doubt go hand in hand, they are complementaries. One who never doubts will never truly believe.
Hermann Hesse
Nothing was, nothing will be, everything has reality and presence
Hermann Hesse
One of the disadwantages of school and learning, he thought dreamily, was that the mind seemed to have the tendency too see and represent all things as though they were flat and had only two dimensions. This, somehow, seemed to render all matters of intellect shallow and worthless.
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
I suddenly saw how sad and artificial my life had been during this period, for the loves, friends, habits and pleasures of these years were discarded like badly fitting clothes. I parted from them without pain and all that remained was to wonder that I could have endured them so long.
Hermann Hesse
What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life
Hermann Hesse
Gratitude is not a virtue I believe in, and to me it seems hypocritical to expect it from a child.
Hermann Hesse
But peace, too, is a living thing and like all life it must wax and wane, accommodate, withstand trials, and undergo changes.
Hermann Hesse
Were not the gods forms created like me and you, mortal, transient?
Hermann Hesse
Beauty does not bring happiness to the one who possesses it, but to the one who loves and admires it.
Hermann Hesse
Youth ends when egotism does maturity begins when one lives for others.
Hermann Hesse
In my brain were stored a thousand pictures.
Hermann Hesse
Let me say no more. Words do no justice to the hidden meaning. Everything immediately becomes slightly different when it is expressed in words, a little bit distorted, a little foolish...It is perfectly fine with me that what for one man is precious wisdom for another sounds like foolery.
Hermann Hesse
