Hermann Hesse
Only the ideas that we really live have any value.
Hermann Hesse
I, also, would like to look and smile, sit and walk like that, so free, so worthy, so restrained, so candid, so childlike and mysterious. A man only looks and walks like that when he has conquered his Self. I also will conquer my Self.
Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse
