If I know what love is, it is ...

If I know what love is, it is because of you.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Gratitude is not a virtue I be...

Gratitude is not a virtue I believe in, and to me it seems hypocritical to expect it from a child.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

A father can pass on his nose ...

A father can pass on his nose and eyes and even his intelligence to his child, but not his soul. In every human being the soul is new

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

The way to innocence, to the u...

The way to innocence, to the uncreated and to God leads on, not back, not back to the wolf or to the child, but ever further into sin, ever deeper into human life.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

The world was beautiful when looked at in this way-without any seeking, so simple, so childlike.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

If I were poet now, I would not resist the temptation to trace my life back through the delicate shadows of my childhood to the precious and sheltered sources of my earliest memories. But these possessions are far too dear and sacred for the person I now am to spoil for myself. All there is to say of my childhood is that it was good and happy. I was given the freedom to discover my own inclinations and talents, to fashion my inmost pleasures and sorrows myself and to regard the future not as an alien higher power but a

Among mathematicians, even in those days, the reputation of being a good Glass Bead Game player meant a great deal; it was equivalent to being a very good mathematician.

... let us recall the well-known statement of a university professor in the Republic of the Massagetes: 'Not the faculty but His Excellency the General can properly determine the sum of two and two.'

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 508 quotes

...and gradually his face assumed the expressions which are so often found among rich people - the expressions of discontent, of sickliness, of displeasure, of idleness, of lovelessness. Slowly the soul sickness of the rich crept over him.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

It may be important to great thinkers to examine the world, to explain and despise it. But I think it is only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love, admiration and respect.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

No permanence is ours, we are ...

No permanence is ours, we are a wave that flows to fit whatever form it finds.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Most men will not swim before ...

Most men will not swim before they are able to.Ђќ Is that not witty? Naturally, they won't swim! They are born for the solid earth, not for the water. And naturally they wont think. They are made for life, not for thought. Yes, and he who thinks, what's more, he who makes thought his business, he may go far in it, but he has bartered the solid earth for the water all the same, and one day he will drown.

I can think. I can wait. I can fast.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

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.

I am much inclined to live from my rucksack, and let my trousers fray as they like.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

What we can and should change ...

What we can and should change is ourselves: our impatience, our egoism (including intellectual egoism), our sense of injury, our lack of love and forbearance. I regard every other attempt to change the world, even if it springs from the best intentions, as futile.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

To hold our tongues when every...

To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Sentimentality is a basking in feelings that in reality you don't take seriously enough to make the slightest sacrifice to or ever translate into action.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

When a writer receives praise ...

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.
