More quotes by 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
The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught.
Hermann Hesse
Once you are able to make your request in such a way that you will be quite certain of its fulfillment, then the fulfillment will come.
Hermann Hesse
The voices of all creatures are in the voices of the river.
Hermann Hesse
Beauty does not bring happiness to the one who possesses it, but to the one who loves and admires it.
Hermann Hesse
To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.
Hermann Hesse
Everyone can reach his goal, if he can think, wait and fast.
Hermann Hesse
The true profession of a man is to find his way to himself.
Hermann Hesse
Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.
Hermann Hesse
It was all a lie, it all stank, stank of lies, it all gave the illusion of meaning and happiness and beauty, and all of it was just putrefaction that no one would admit to. Bitter was the taste of the world. Life was a torment.
Hermann Hesse
They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming.
Hermann Hesse
You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.
Hermann Hesse
A house without books is a poor house, even if beautiful rugs are covering its floors and precious wallpapers and pictures cover its walls
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
It is good to taste for yourself everything you need to know. That worldly pleasures and wealth are not good things, I learned even as a child. I knew it for a long time, but only now have I experienced it.
Hermann Hesse
Words can not express the joy of new life.
Hermann Hesse
We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral we have already climbed many steps.
Hermann Hesse
All this had always been and he had never seen it he was never present. Now he was present and belonged to it. Through his eyes he saw light and shadows through his mind he was aware of moon and stars.
Hermann Hesse
Gratitude is not a virtue I believe in, and to me it seems hypocritical to expect it from a child.
Hermann Hesse
He saw that the water continually flowed and flowed and yet it was always there it was always the same and yet every moment it was new.
Hermann Hesse
