There is no reality except the one contained within us.

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

What I am in search of is not...

What I am in search of is not so much the gratification of a curiosity or a passion for worldly life, but something far less conditional. I do not wish to go out into the world with an insurance policy in my pocket guaranteeing my return in the event of a disappointment, like some cautious traveller who would be content with a brief glimpse of the world. On the contrary, I desire that there should be hazards, difficulties and dangers to face; I am hungry for reality, for tasks and deeds, and also for privation and suffering.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

In each individual the spirit...

In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified.

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Among the letters my readers ...

It is possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard.

Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Seeking means: to have a goal...

Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

For me, however, that beloved, glowing little word happiness has become associated with everything I have felt since childhood upon hearing the sound of the word itself.

The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Whoever will be born must destroy a world.

It is not Kafka's fault that his wonderful writings have lately turned into a fad, and are read by people who have neither the ability nor the desire to absorb literature.

Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

It was morning; through the high window I saw the pure, bright blue of the sky as it hovered cheerfully over the long roofs of the neighboring houses. It too seemed full of joy, as if it had special plans, and had put on its finest clothes for the occasion.

All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened.

Within us there is someone who knows everything, wills everything, does everything better than we ourselves.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

You are only afraid if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves.

To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness.
