More quotes by Hermann Hesse

Image
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest. It was a scandal that a breed of fearless and sinister people ran around freely, so they attached a nickname and a myth to these people to get even with them, to make up for the many times they had felt afraid.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Nothing is harder, yet nothing is more necessary, than to speak of certain things whose existence is neither demonstrable nor probable. The very fact that serious and conscientious men treat them as existing things brings them a step closer to existence and to the possibility of being born.
Hermann Hesse
Image
I am in truth the Steppenwolf that I often call myself that beast astray that finds neither home nor joy nor nourishment in a world that is strange and incomprehensible to him.
Hermann Hesse
Image
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
Image
To achieve the possible, we must attempt the impossible again and again.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Art is the contemplation of the world in a state of grace.
Hermann Hesse
Image
What should I possibly have to tell you, oh venerable one? Perhaps that you're searching far too much? That in all that searching, you don't find the time for finding?
Hermann Hesse
Image
I began to understand that suffering and disappointments and melancholy are there not to vex us or cheapen us or deprive us of our dignity but to mature and transfigure us.
Hermann Hesse
Image
There is a miracle in every new beginning
Hermann Hesse
Image
For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche.
Hermann Hesse
Image
The true profession of a man is to find his way to himself.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Your soul is the whole world.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Every important cultural gesture comes down to a morality, a model for human behavior concentrated into a gesture.
Hermann Hesse
Image
The world is not imperfect or slowly evolving along a long path to perfection. No, it is perfect at every moment every sin already carries grace within it, all small children are potential old men, all sucklings have death within them, all dying people — eternal life.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Everyone can reach his goal, if he can think, wait and fast.
Hermann Hesse
Image
During deep meditation it is possible to dispel time, to see simultaneously all the past, present, and future, and then everything is good, everything is perfect, everything is Brahman.
Hermann Hesse
Image
The river is everywhere.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Chaos demands to be recognized and experienced before letting itself be converted into a new order.
Hermann Hesse
Image
When we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.
Hermann Hesse
