Rain Soft rain, summer rain Whispers from bushes, whispers from trees. Oh, how lovely and full of blessing To dream and be satisfied. I was so long in the outer brightness, I am not used to this upheaval: Being at home in my own soul, Never to be led elsewhere. I want nothing, I long for nothing, I hum gently the sounds of childhood, And I reach home astounded In the warm beauty of dreams. Heart, how torn you are, How blessed to plow down blindly, To think nothing, to know nothing, Only to breathe, only to feel.

Was it not his Self, his smal...

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

I am in truth the Steppenwolf...

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.

You must find your dream...bu...

You must find your dream...but no dream lasts forever, each dream is followed by another, and one should not cling to any particular dream.

Hermann Hesse

It is good to taste for yours...

It is good to taste for yourself everything you need to know. That worldly pleasures and wealth are not good things, I learned even as a child. I knew it for a long time, but only now have I experienced it.

I want to learn from myself, want to be my student, want to get to know myself, the secret of Siddhartha.

For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves.

Once you are able to make you...

Once you are able to make your request in such a way that you will be quite certain of its fulfillment, then the fulfillment will come.

Hermann Hesse

Every man is more than just h...

Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again. That is why every man's story is important, eternal, sacred; that is why every man, as long as he lives and fulfills the will of nature, is wondrous, and worthy of consideration. In each individual the spirit has become flesh, in each man the creation suffers, within each one a redeemer is nailed to the cross.

Every important cultural gest...

Every important cultural gesture comes down to a morality, a model for human behavior concentrated into a gesture.

How foolish to wear oneself out in vain longing for warmth! Solitude is independence.

Hermann Hesse

No, a true seeker, one who tr...

No, a true seeker, one who truly wished to find, could accept no doctrine. But the man who has found what he sought, such a man could approve of every doctrine, each and every one, every path, every goal; nothing separated him any longer from all those thousands of others who lived in the eternal, who breathed the Divine.

Knowledge can communicated but not wisdom.

Hermann Hesse

Siddhartha has one single goal-to become empty, to become empty of thirst, desire, dreams, pleasure and sorrow-to let the Self die. No longer to be Self, to experience the peace of an emptied heart, to experience pure thought-that was his goal.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes
Hermann Hesse

Love must not entreat,' she a...

Love must not entreat,' she added, 'or demand. Love must have the strength to become certain within itself. Then it ceases merely to be attracted and begins to attract.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes
Hermann Hesse

You have no doubt guessed lon...

You have no doubt guessed long since that the conquest of time and the escape from reality, or however else it may be that you choose to describe your longing, means simply the wish to be relieved of your so-called personality. That is the prison where you lie.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes
Hermann Hesse

I was given the freedom to discover my own inclination and talents, to fashion my inmost pleasures and sorrows myself and to regard the future not as an alien higher power but as the hope and product of my own strength.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes
Hermann Hesse

When I have neither pleasure ...

When I have neither pleasure nor pain and have been breathing for a while the lukewarm insipid air of these so-called good and tolerable days, I feel so bad in my childish soul that I smash my rusty lyre of thanksgiving in the face of the slumbering god of contentment and would rather feel the most devilish pain burn in me than this warmth of a well-heated room. - Harry Haller

Life is always frightful. We cannot help it and we are responsible all the same. One's born and at once one is guilty.

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.
