madness, in a higher sense, is the beginning of all wisdom

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

I live in my dreams — that's ...

I live in my dreams — that's what you sense. Other people live in dreams, but not in their own. That's the difference.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Love must neither beg nor dem...

Love must neither beg nor demand. Love must be strong enough to find certainty within itself. It then cease to be moved and becomes the mover.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Never is a man wholly a saint...

Never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

. . . gentleness is stronger ...

. . . gentleness is stronger than severity, water is stronger than rock, love is stronger than force.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Life is waiting everywhere, the future is flowering everywhere, but we only see a small part of it and step on much of it with our feet

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

I have no right to call mysel...

I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I'm beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn't pleasant, it's not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

You say yes to the sunlight a...

You say yes to the sunlight and pure fantasies, so you have to say yes to the filth and the nausea. Everything is within you, gold and mud, happiness and pain, the laughter of childhood and the apprehension of death. Say yes to everything, shirk nothing.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Only within yourself exists t...

Only within yourself exists that other reality for which you long.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Because the world is so full ...

Because the world is so full of death and horror, I try again and again to console my heart and pick the flowers that grow in the midst of hell.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Have you also learned that se...

Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time?" That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

We must become so alone, so u...

We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible. And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

The true profession of a man ...

The true profession of a man is to find his way to himself.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

I began to understand that su...

I began to understand that suffering and disappointments and melancholy are there not to vex us or cheapen us or deprive us of our dignity but to mature and transfigure us.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

This day will never come agai...

This day will never come again and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered to him again in all eternity. The sun will never shine as it does today...But you must play your part and sing a song, one of your best.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

We kill when we close our eye...

We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, affliction, or infamy. We kill when, because it is easier, we countenance, or pretend to approve of atrophied social, political, educational, and religious institutions, instead of resolutely combating them.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

Love your suffering. Do not r...

Love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

God does not send us despair ...

God does not send us despair in order to kill us; he sends it in order to awaken us to new life.

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

A house without books is a poor house, even if beautiful rugs are covering its floors and precious wallpapers and pictures cover its walls

Hermann Hesse 508 quotes

We kill at every step, not on...

We kill at every step, not only in wars, riots and executions. We kill when we close our eyes to poverty, suffering and shame.In the same way all disrespect for life, all hard-heartedness,all indifference, all contempt is nothing else than killing.
