Hermann Hesse Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

My goal is this: always to put myself in the place in which I am best able to serve, wherever my gifts and qualities find the best soil to grow, the widest field of action. There is no other goal Picture Quote #1

I have always been a great dreamer. In dreams I have always been more active than in my real life, and these shadows sapped me of my health and energy Picture Quote #1

When you like someone, you like them in spite of their faults. When you love someone, you love them with their faults Picture Quote #1

Most people... are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters, and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel one defined path: no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path Picture Quote #1

Every important cultural gesture comes down to a morality, a model for human behavior concentrated into a gesture Picture Quote #1

One can beg, buy, be presented with and find love in the streets, but it can never be stolen Picture Quote #1

Whither will my path yet lead me? This path is stupid, it goes in spirals, perhaps in circles, but whichever way it goes, I will follow it Picture Quote #1

They slept profoundly, desperately, greedily, as though for the last time, as though they had been condemned to stay awake forever and had to drink in all the sleep in the world during these last hours Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My resolve to die was not the whim of an hour. It was the ripe, sound fruit that had slowly grown to full size, lightly rocked by the winds of fate whose next breath would bring it to the ground Picture Quote #1

Love is like death. It is fulfillment and an evening after which nothing more may follow Picture Quote #1

How could I fail to be a lone wolf, and an uncouth hermit, as I did not share one of its aims nor understand one of its pleasures? Picture Quote #1

How foolish it is to wear oneself out in vain longing for warmth! Solitude is independence Picture Quote #1

In fear I hurried this way and that. I had the taste of blood and chocolate in my mouth, the one as hateful as the other Picture Quote #1

Solitude is independence. It had been my wish and with the years I had attained it. It was cold. Oh, cold enough! But it was also still, wonderfully still and vast like the cold stillness of space in which the stars revolve Picture Quote #1

There are always a few such people who demand the utmost of life and yet cannot come to terms with its stupidity and crudeness Picture Quote #1

Every natural form is latent within us, originates in the soul whose essence is eternity, whose essence we cannot know but which most often intimates itself to us as the power to love and create Picture Quote #1

I sped through heaven and saw God at work. I suffered holy pains. I dropped all my defenses and was afraid of nothing in the world. I accepted all things and to all things I gave up my heart Picture Quote #1

I will no longer mutilate and destroy myself in order to find a secret behind the ruins Picture Quote #1

Not in his speech, not in his thoughts, I see his greatness, only in his actions, in his life Picture Quote #1

I call that man awake who, with conscious knowledge and understanding, can perceive the deep unreasoning powers in his soul, his whole innermost strength, desire and weakness, and knows how to reckon with himself Picture Quote #1

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life Picture Quote #1
