The tree does not die, it waits.
Hermann Hesse
Never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner.
Hermann Hesse
Was it not his Self, his small, fearful and proud Self, with which he had wrestled for so many years, but which had always conquered him again, which appeared each time again and again, which robbed him of happiness and filled him with fear?
Hermann Hesse
...Haller's sickness of the soul, as I now know, is not the eccentricity of a single individual, but the sickness of the times themselves, the neurosis of that generation to which Haller belongs, a sickness, it seems, that by no means attacks the weak and worthless only but, rather, precisely those who are strongest in spirit and richest in gifts.
Hermann Hesse
Were not the gods forms created like me and you, mortal, transient?
Hermann Hesse
As a body everyone is single, as a soul never.
Hermann Hesse
He had loved and he had found himself. Most people love to lose themselves.
Hermann Hesse
Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish.
Hermann Hesse
To achieve the possible, we must attempt the impossible again and again.
Hermann Hesse
Chaos demands to be recognized and experienced before letting itself be converted into a new order.
Hermann Hesse
In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified.
Hermann Hesse
... let us recall the well-known statement of a university professor in the Republic of the Massagetes: 'Not the faculty but His Excellency the General can properly determine the sum of two and two.'
Hermann Hesse
The river has taught me to listen you will learn from it, too. The river knows everything one can learn everything from it. You have already learned from the river that it is good to strive downwards, to sink, to seek the depths.
Hermann Hesse
I call that man awake who, with conscious knowledge and understanding, can perceive the deep unreasoning powers in his soul, his whole innermost strength, desire and weakness, and knows how to reckon with himself.
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 the women of this fevered night, all that I had danced with, all whom I had kindled or who have kindled me, all whom I had courted, all who had clung to me with longing, all whom I had followed with enraptured eyes were melted together and had become one, the one whom I held in my arms.
Hermann Hesse
He has robbed me, yet he has given me something of greater value . . . he has given to me myself.
Hermann Hesse
Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it. Beyond the pairs of opposites of which the world consists, other, new insights begin.
Hermann Hesse
lucid and quiet his voice hovered above the listeners, like a light, like a starry sky.
Hermann Hesse
Nothing was, nothing will be, everything has reality and presence
Hermann Hesse
