More quotes by Hermann Hesse

Image
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
Image
A girl had bidden me eat and drink and sleep, and had shown me friendship and had laughed at me and had called me a silly little boy. And this wonderful friend had talked to me of the saints and shown me that even when I had outdone myself in absurdity I was not alone.

What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.

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.

To die is to go into the Collective Unconscious, to lose oneself in order to be transformed into form, pure form.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Like one who has eaten and drunk too much and vomits painfully and then feels better, so did the restless man wish he could rid himself with one terrific heave of these pleasures, of these habits of this entirely senseless life.
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
Image
The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world. The bird flies to God. The God's name is Abraxas.
Hermann Hesse
Image
When a writer receives praise or blame, when he arouses sympathy or is ridiculed, when he is loved or rejected, it is not on the strength of his thoughts and dreams as a whole, but only of that infinitesimal part which has been able to make its way through the narrow channel of language and the equally narrow channel of the reader's understanding.
Hermann Hesse
Image
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
Beauty does not bring happiness to the one who possesses it, but to the one who loves and admires it.
Hermann Hesse
Image
You show the world as a complete, unbroken chain, an eternal chain, linked together by cause and effect.
Hermann Hesse
Image
What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life

All higher humor begins with ceasing to take oneself seriously.

Without a mother, one cannot love. Without a mother, one cannot die.

To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.
Hermann Hesse
Image
Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.
Hermann Hesse
Image
The highest art... sets down its creations and trusts in their magic, without fear of not being understood.

Image
She stood a moment before my eyes, clearly and painfully, loved and deeply woven into my destiny then fell away again in a deep oblivion, at a half regretted distance.
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.
