Text Quotes
To recognize causes is to think, and through thought alone feelings become knowledge and are not lost, but become real and begin to mature (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
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 Quotes)
And whether this happiness lasted a hundred seconds or ten minutes, it was so far removed from time that it resembled every other genuine happiness as completely as one fluttering blue lycaenid butterfly resembles another (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
The river has taught me to listen; you will learn from it, too. The river knows everything; one can learn everything from it. You have already learned from the river that it is good to strive downwards, to sink, to seek the depths (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The river is everywhere at the same time... everywhere and the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past, nor the shadow of the future (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
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 Quotes)
That seems to be the way of things. Everyone takes, everyone gives. Life is like that (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
Every phenomenon on earth is symbolic, and each symbol is an open gate through which the soul, if it is ready, can enter into the inner part of the world, where you and I and day and night are all one (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
Lovers should not separate from each other after making love without admiring each other, without being conquered as well as conquering, so that no feeling of satiation or desolation arises nor the horrid feeling of misusing or having been misused (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
Theory is knowledge that doesn’t work. Practice is when everything works and you don’t know why (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
Fortunately, like most children, I had learned what is most valuable, most indispensable for life before school years began, taught by apple trees, by rain and sun, river and woods (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
How beautiful the world was when one looked at it, without searching... just looked, simply and innocently (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
Knowledge can be conveyed, but not wisdom. It can be found, it can be lived, it is possible to be carried by it, miracles can be performed with it, but it cannot be expressed in words and taught (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Whether you and I and a few others will renew the world some day remains to be seen. But within ourselves we must renew it each day (Hermann Hesse 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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Every path leads homeward, every step is birth, every step is death, every grave is mother (Hermann Hesse 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 (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
At the first kiss I felt something melt inside me that hurt in an exquisite way. All my longings, all my dreams and sweet anguish, all the secrets that slept deep within me came awake, everything was transformed and enchanted, and everything made sense (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
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 Quotes)
He saw all these forms and faces in a thousand relationships become newly born. Each one was mortal, a passionate, painful example of all that is transitory. Yet none of them died, they only changed, were always reborn, continually had a new face: only time stood between one face and another (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation... and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
Once it happened, as I lay awake at night, that I suddenly spoke in verses, in verses so beautiful and strange that I did not venture to think of writing them down, and then in the morning they vanished; and yet they lay hidden within me like the hard kernel within an old brittle husk (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
I learned through my body and soul that it was necessary to sin, that I needed lust, that I had to strive for property and experience nausea and the depths of despair in order to learn not to resist them, in order to learn to love the world, and no longer compare it with some kind of desired imaginary vision of perfection, but to leave it as it is, to love it and be glad to belong to it (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
It may be important to great thinkers to examine the world, to explain and despise it. But I think it is only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love, admiration and respect (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
