Age is a state of mind. Youth and age exist only among the ordinary people. All the more talented and exceptional of us are sometimes old, just as we are sometimes happy, and sometimes sad.
Hermann Hesse
Image
You can ride, you can travel with a friend of your own The final step you must take alone. No wisdom is better than this when known: That every hard thing is done alone.
Hermann Hesse
Image
our friendship has no other purpose, no other reason, than to show you how utterly unlike me you are.
Hermann Hesse

Youth ends when egotism does maturity begins when one lives for others.
Hermann Hesse
Image
But peace, too, is a living thing and like all life it must wax and wane, accommodate, withstand trials, and undergo changes.
Hermann Hesse
