Text Quotes
Love can be begged, bought, or received as a gift, one can find it in the street, but one cannot steal it  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) For the first time in my life I tasted death, and death tasted bitter, for death is birth, is fear and dread of some terrible renewal  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) At one time I had given much thought to why men were so very rarely capable of living for an ideal. Now I saw that many, no, all men were capable of dying for one  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) Despair is the result of each earnest attempt to go through life with virtue, justice and understanding, and to fulfill their requirements. Children live on one side of despair, the awakened on the other side  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) Opinions mean nothing; they may be beautiful or ugly, clever or foolish, anyone can embrace or reject them  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) One cannot apologize for something fundamental, and a child feels and knows this as well and as deeply as any sage  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) It was all a lie, it all stank, stank of lies, it all gave the illusion of meaning and happiness and beauty, and all of it was just putrefaction that no one would admit to. Bitter was the taste of the world. Life was a torment  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) It is not for me to judge another man’s life. I must judge, I must choose, I must spurn, purely for myself. For myself, alone  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) 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 Quotes) Look: We hate nothing that exists, not even death, suffering and dying, does not horrify our souls, as long as we learn more deeply to love  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) It was the first rent in the holy image of my father, it was the first fissure in the columns that had upheld my childhood, which every individual must destroy before he can become himself  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) Life is always frightful. We cannot help it and we are responsible all the same. One’s born and at once one is guilty  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) So you find yourself surrounded by death and horror in the world, and you escape it into lust. But lust has no duration; it leaves you again in the desert  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) In any case, the most lively young people become the best old people, not those who pretend to be as wise as grandfathers while they are still at school  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) Everyone can perform magic, everyone can reach his goals, if he is able to think, if he is able to wait, if he is able to fast  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) He was taught by the river. Incessantly, he learned from it. Most of all, he learned from it to listen, to pay close attention with a quiet heart, with a waiting, opened soul, without passion, without a wish, without judgement, without an opinion  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) He saw that the water continually flowed and flowed and yet it was always there; it was always the same and yet every moment it was new  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) Romantic souvenirs had a way of attaching themselves to one when one wanted to move on, but they were not to be taken seriously  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) Each of us is merely one human being, merely an experiment, a way station. But each of us should be on the way toward perfection, should be striving to reach the center, not the periphery  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) She stood a moment before my eyes, clearly and painfully, loved and deeply woven into my destiny; then fell away again in a deep oblivion, at a half regretted distance  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) What for me is bliss and life and ecstasy and exaltation, the world in general seeks at most in imagination; in life it finds it absurd  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) Painting is marvelous; it makes you happier and more patient. Afterwards you do not have black fingers as with writing, but blue and red ones  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) I hope death will be a great happiness, a happiness as great as that of love, fulfilled love  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) All interpretation, all psychology, all attempts to make things comprehensible, require the medium of theories, mythologies, and lies  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) What should I possibly have to tell you, oh venerable one? Perhaps that you’re searching far too much? That in all that searching, you don’t find the time for finding?  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) I do want more. I am not content with being happy. I was not made for it. It is not my destiny. My destiny is the opposite  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) Our friendship has no other purpose, no other reason, than to show you how utterly unlike me you are  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) Within you there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) So you can’t dance? Not at all? Not even one step? How can you say that you’ve taken any trouble to live when you won’t even dance?  (Hermann Hesse Quotes) God does not send us despair in order to kill us; he sends it in order to awaken us to new life  (Hermann Hesse Quotes)
