Hermann Hesse
The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught.
Hermann Hesse
What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life

Hermann Hesse
It was morning through the high window I saw the pure, bright blue of the sky as it hovered cheerfully over the long roofs of the neighboring houses. It too seemed full of joy, as if it had special plans, and had put on its finest clothes for the occasion.
Hermann Hesse
There are always a few such people who demand the utmost of life and yet cannot come to terms with its stupidity and crudeness.
Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse
Without a mother, one cannot love. Without a mother, one cannot die.
Hermann Hesse
The voices of all creatures are in the voices of the river.
Hermann Hesse
Siddhartha stopped fighting his fate this very hour, and he stopped suffering.
Hermann Hesse
The art of love-giving and taking become one.
Hermann Hesse
A tree has something to say to us: Be still! Be still! Look at me!... Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all.
Hermann Hesse
Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them.
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
Each of us is merely one human being, merely an experiment, a way station. But each of us should be on the way toward perfection, should be striving to reach the center, not the periphery.
Hermann Hesse
The tree does not die, it waits.
Hermann Hesse
