Gaze into the fire, into the ...

Gaze into the fire, into the clouds, and as soon as the inner voices begin to speak... surrender to them. Don't ask first whether it's permitted, or would please your teachers or father or some god. You will ruin yourself if you do that.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

He looked around, as if he wa...

He looked around, as if he was seeing the world for the first time. Beautiful was the world, colorful was the world, strange and mysterious was the world! Here was blue, here was yellow, here was green, the sky and the river flowed, the forest and the mountains were rigid, all of it was beautiful, all of it was mysterious and magical, and in its midst was he, Siddhartha, the awakening one, on the path to himself.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

His life oscillates, as everyone's does, not merely between two poles, such as the body and the spirit, the saint and the sinner, but between thousands and thousands.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Not in his speech, not in his...

Not in his speech, not in his thoughts, I see his greatness, only in his actions, in his life.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Oh, love isn't there to make ...

Oh, love isn't there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

We have to stumble through so...

We have to stumble through so much dirt and humbug before we reach home. And we have no one to guide us. Our only guide is our homesickness.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

The only reality is the one w...

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

You are willing to die, you c...

You are willing to die, you coward, but not to live.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Each man had only one genuine...

Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself....His task was to discover his own destiny - not an arbitrary one - and to live it out wholly and resolutely within himself. Everything else was only a would-be existence, an attempt at evasion, a flight back to the ideals of the masses, conformity and fear of one's own inwardness.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

It is not for me to judge ano...

It is not for me to judge another man's life. I must judge, I must choose, I must spurn, purely for myself. For myself, alone.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

That's the way it is when you...

That's the way it is when you love. It makes you suffer, and I have suffered much in the years since. But it matters little that you suffer, so long as you feel alive with a sense of the close bond that connects all living things, so long as love does not die!

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

I, also, would like to look a...

I, also, would like to look and smile, sit and walk like that, so free, so worthy, so restrained, so candid, so childlike and mysterious. A man only looks and walks like that when he has conquered his Self. I also will conquer my Self.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

I suddenly saw how sad and ar...

I suddenly saw how sad and artificial my life had been during this period, for the loves, friends, habits and pleasures of these years were discarded like badly fitting clothes. I parted from them without pain and all that remained was to wonder that I could have endured them so long.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Each man had only one genuine...

Each man had only one genuine vocation to find the way to himself.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

During deep meditation it is possible to dispel time, to see simultaneously all the past, present, and future, and then everything is good, everything is perfect, everything is Brahman.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Only within yourself exists t...

Only within yourself exists the other reality for which you long. I can give you nothing that has not already its being within yourself. I can throw open to you no picture gallery but your own soul.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Each man's life represents a ...

Each man's life represents a road toward himself, an attempt at such a road, the intimation of a path. No man has ever been entirely and completely himself.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

When we hate a person, what w...

When we hate a person, what we hate in his image is something inside ourselves. Whatever isn't inside us can't excite us.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

To die is to go into the Coll...

To die is to go into the Collective Unconscious, to lose oneself in order to be transformed into form, pure form.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

I hope death will be a great happiness, a happiness as great as that of love, fulfilled love
