More quotes by Hermann Hesse
There are always a few such people who demand the utmost of life and yet cannot come to terms with its stupidity and crudeness.
Hermann Hesse
For the air of lonely men surrounded him now, a still atmosphere in which the world around him slipped away, leaving him incapable of relationship, an atmosphere against which neither will nor longing availed. This was one of the significant earmarks of his life.
Hermann Hesse
Good that you ask. You should always ask, always have doubts.
Hermann Hesse
Chaos demands to be recognized and experienced before letting itself be converted into a new order.
Hermann Hesse
I sped through heaven and saw god at work. I suffered holy pains. I dropped all my defenses and was afraid of nothing in the world. I accepted all things and to all things I gave up my heart.
Hermann Hesse
Who travels far will often see things Far removed from what was believed as Truth.
Hermann Hesse
Om is the bow, the arrow is soul.
Hermann Hesse
Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go.
Hermann Hesse
When the suffering becomes acute enough, one goes forward.
Hermann Hesse
All higher humor begins with ceasing to take oneself seriously.
Hermann Hesse
Every man's story is important, eternal and sacred. That is why every man, as long as he lives and fulfills the will of nature, is wondrous and worthy of every consideration.
Hermann Hesse
A thousand times I was ready to regret and take back my rash statement - yet it had been the truth.
Hermann Hesse
Only within yourself exists that other reality for which you long.
Hermann Hesse
It was lovely, and tempting, to exert power over men and to shine before others, but power also had its perditions and perils.
Hermann Hesse
His life oscillates, as everyone's does, not merely between two poles, such as the body and the spirit, the saint and the sinner, but between thousands and thousands.
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
Often it is the most deserving people who cannot help loving those who destroy them.
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
The river is everywhere.
Hermann Hesse
Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.
Hermann Hesse
