Hermann Hesse Quotes

I wanted only to live in accord with the promptings which came from my true self. Why was that so very difficult? Picture Quote #1

All I really wanted was to try and live the life that was spontaneously welling up within me. Why was that so very difficult? Picture Quote #1

Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud Picture Quote #1

Happiness is a how; not a what. A talent, not an object Picture Quote #1

A home isn’t just a roof over our heads. A home is a place where we feel loved and where we love others. It’s a place we belong. Love is what makes a home, not the contents inside the house or the number on the door. It’s the people waiting for us across the threshold, the people who will take us in their arms after a ad day and kiss us good night and good morning everyday for the rest of our lives Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity Picture Quote #1

All suicides have the responsibility of fighting against the temptation of suicide. Every one of them knows very well in some corner of his soul that suicide, though a way out, is rather a mean and shabby one, and that it is nobler and finer to be conquered by life than to fall by one’s own hand Picture Quote #1

He had thrown himself away, he had lost interest in everything, and life, falling in with his feelings, had demanded nothing of him. He had lived as an outsider, an idler and onlooker, well liked in his young manhood, alone in his illness and advancing years. Seized with weariness, he sat down on the wall, and the river murmured darkly in his thoughts Picture Quote #1

For mountain and stream, tree and leaf, root and blossom, every form in nature is echoed in us and originates in the soul whose being is eternity and is hidden from us but none the less gives itself to us for the most part in the power of love and creation 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

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 Picture Quote #1

To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do 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

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

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
