Hermann Hesse Quotes

Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it. Beyond the pairs of opposites of which the world consists, other, new insights begin Picture Quote #1

The bourgeois prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to the deathly inner consuming fire Picture Quote #1

There’s no reality except the one contained within us. That’s why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself Picture Quote #1

What could I say to you that would be of value, except that perhaps you seek too much, that as a result of your seeking you cannot find Picture Quote #1

Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish Picture Quote #1

You are only afraid if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves Picture Quote #1

Passion is always a mystery and unaccountable, and unfortunately there is no doubt that life does not spare its purest children; often it is just the most deserving people who cannot help loving those that destroy them Picture Quote #1

I realize today that nothing in the world is more distasteful to a man than to take the path that leads to himself Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish Picture Quote #1

Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap Picture Quote #1

The sacred sense of beyond, of timelessness, of a world which had an eternal value and the substance of which was divine had been given back to me today by this friend of mine who taught me dancing Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present Picture Quote #1

The man of power is ruined by power, the man of money by money, the submissive man by subservience, the pleasure seeker by pleasure Picture Quote #1

I have known it for a long time but I have only just experienced it. Now I know it not only with my intellect, but with my eyes, with my heart, with my stomach Picture Quote #1

He has robbed me, yet he has given me something of greater value... he has given to me myself Picture Quote #1

You should never be afraid of people... such fear can destroy us completely. You’ve simply got to get rid of it, if you want to turn into someone decent. You understand that, don’t you? Picture Quote #1

You knew all along that your sanctioned world was only half the world, and you tried to suppress the other half the same way the priests and teachers do. You won’t succeed. No one succeeds in this once he has begun to think Picture Quote #1

I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me Picture Quote #1

For what I always hated and detested and cursed above all things was this contentment, this healthiness and comfort, this carefully preserved optimism of the middle classes, this fat and prosperous brood of mediocrity Picture Quote #1

I called the world of phenomena an illusion, I called my eyes and my tongue and accident, valueless phenomena. No, that is all over; I have awakened, I have really awakened and have just been born today Picture Quote #1

Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours Picture Quote #1

My real self wanders elsewhere, far away, wanders on and on invisibly and has nothing to do with my life Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

No permanence is ours, we are a wave that flows to fit whatever form it finds Picture Quote #1

I am much inclined to live from my rucksack, and let my trousers fray as they like Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Lucid and quiet his voice hovered above the listeners, like a light, like a starry sky Picture Quote #1
