Every politician in the world ...

Every politician in the world is all for revolution, reason, and disarmament-but only in enemy countries, not in his own.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

At the first kiss I felt somet...

At the first kiss I felt something melt inside me that hurt in an exquisite way. All my longings, all my dreams and sweet anguish, all the secrets that slept deep within me came awake, everything was transformed and enchanted, and everything made sense.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

The only reality is the one we...

The only reality is the one we have inside us. What makes most people's lives so artificial and unworthy is that they falsely regard outside images as reality and they never allow their own inner world to speak.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

When all the Self was conquere...

When all the Self was conquered and dead, when all passions and desires were silent, then the last must awaken, the innermost of Being that is no longer Self - the great secret!

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

People with courage and charac...

People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest. It was a scandal that a breed of fearless and sinister people ran around freely, so they attached a nickname and a myth to these people to get even with them, to make up for the many times they had felt afraid.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Those who cannot think or take...

Those who cannot think or take responsibility for themselves need, and clamor for, a leader.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Nothing was, nothing will be, ...

Nothing was, nothing will be, everything has reality and presence

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

You wouldn't consider all the ...

You wouldn't consider all the bipeds you pass on the street human beings simply because they walk upright and carry their young in their bellies nine months! It is obvious how many of them are fish or sheep, worms or angels, how many are ants, how many are fish or sheep, worms or angels, how contains the possibility of becoming human, partially even by learning to make himself conscious of them; only in this respect are these possibilities his.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Like one who has eaten and dru...

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 508 quotes

The many-voiced song of the ri...

The many-voiced song of the river echoed softly. Siddhartha looked into the river and saw many pictures in the flowing water. The river's voice was sorrowful. It sang with yearning and sadness, flowing towards its goal ... Siddhartha was now listening intently...to this song of a thousand voices ... then the great song of a thousand voices consisted of one word: Om - Perfection ... From that hour Siddhartha ceased to fight against his destiny.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Human life is reduced to real ...

Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

He saw all these forms and fac...

He saw all these forms and faces in a thousand relationships become newly born. Each one was mortal, a passionate, painful example of all that is transitory. Yet none of them died, they only changed, were always reborn, continually had a new face: only time stood between one face and another.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

He has robbed me, yet he has g...

He has robbed me, yet he has given me something of greater value . . . he has given to me myself.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

To recognize causes is to thin...

To recognize causes is to think, and through thought alone feelings become knowledge and are not lost, but become real and begin to mature.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Words can not express the joy ...

Words can not express the joy of new life.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

I am fond of music I think because it is so amoral. Everything else is moral and I am after something that isn't. I have always found moralizing intolerable.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

The greatest threat to our wor...

The greatest threat to our world and its peace comes from those who want war, who prepare for it, and who, by holding out vague promises of future peace or by instilling fear of foreign aggression, try to make us accomplices to their plans.

Happiness is love, nothing else.

Love is stronger than violence.

There is no reality except the one contained within us.
