For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Lovers should not separate fr...

Lovers should not separate from each other after making love without admiring each other, without being conquered as well as conquering, so that no feeling of satiation or desolation arises nor the horrid feeling of misusing or having been misused.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

The man of power is ruined by...

The man of power is ruined by power, the man of money by money, the submissive man by subservience, the pleasure seeker by pleasure.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

There is no reality except the one contained within us.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

And all the voices, all the g...

And all the voices, all the goals, all the yearnings, all the sorrows, all the pleasures, all the good and evil, all of them together was the world. All of them together was the stream of events, the music of life.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

She stood before him and surr...

She stood before him and surrendered herself to him and sky, forest, and brook all came toward him in new and resplendent colors, belonged to him, and spoke to him in his own language. And instead of merely winning a woman he embraced the entire world and every star in heaven glowed within him and sparkled with joy in his soul. He had loved and had found himself. But most people love to lose themselves.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

My real self wanders elsewher...

My real self wanders elsewhere, far away, wanders on and on invisibly and has nothing to do with my life.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

The best weapons against the ...

The best weapons against the infamies of life are courage, wilfulness and patience. Courage strenthens, wilfulness is fun and patience provides tranquility.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Every phenomenon on earth is ...

Every phenomenon on earth is symbolic, and each symbol is an open gate through which the soul, if it is ready, can enter into the inner part of the world, where you and I and day and night are all one.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

I believe that I am not responsible for the meaningfulness or meaninglessness of life, but that I am responsible for what I do with the life I've got.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

What should I possibly have t...

What should I possibly have to tell you, oh venerable one? Perhaps that you're searching far too much? That in all that searching, you don't find the time for finding?

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

At the first kiss I felt some...

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

It taught him how to listen -- how to listen with a quiet heart and a waiting soul, open soul, without passion, without desire, without judgment, without opinion.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

All birth means separation fr...

All birth means separation from the All, the confinement within limitation, the separation from God, the pangs of being born ever anew. The return into the All, the dissolution of painful individuation, the reunion with God means the expansion of the soul until it is able once more to embrace the All.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Those who are too lazy and co...

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 508 quotes

All I really wanted was to tr...

All I really wanted was to try and live the life that was spontaneously welling up within me. Why was that so very difficult?

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

He was taught by the river. I...

He was taught by the river. Incessantly, he learned from it. Most of all, he learned from it to listen, to pay close attention with a quiet heart, with a waiting, opened soul, without passion, without a wish, without judgement, without an opinion.

For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers.
