More quotes by Hermann Hesse
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse
Never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner.
Hermann Hesse
Who travels far will often see things Far removed from what was believed as Truth.
Hermann Hesse
Perhaps people like us cannot love. Ordinary people can - that is their secret.
Hermann Hesse
Whither will my path yet lead me? This path is stupid, it goes in spirals, perhaps in circles, but whichever way it goes, I will follow it.
Hermann Hesse
Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.
Hermann Hesse
What is meditation?... It is fleeing from the self, it is a short escape of the agony of being a self, it is a short numbing of the senses against the pain and the pointlessness of life. The same escape, the same short numbing is what the driver of an ox-cart finds in the inn, drinking a few bowls of rice wine or fermented coconut-milk.
Hermann Hesse
One cannot apologize for something fundamental, and a child feels and knows this as well and as deeply as any sage.
Hermann Hesse
My real self wanders elsewhere, far away, wanders on and on invisibly and has nothing to do with my life.
Hermann Hesse
It was the first rent in the holy image of my father, it was the first fissure in the columns that had upheld my childhood, which every individual must destroy before he can become himself.
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
I cannot tell my story without reaching a long way back.
Hermann Hesse
When all the Self was conquered and dead, when all passions and desires were silent, then the last must awaken, the innermost of Being that is no longer Self - the great secret!
Hermann Hesse
So you find yourself surrounded by death and horror in the world, and you escape it into lust. But lust has no duration it leaves you again in the desert.
Hermann Hesse
Beauty does not bring happiness to the one who possesses it, but to the one who loves and admires it.
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
The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught.
Hermann Hesse
The truth is lived, not taught.
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
Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go.
Hermann Hesse
