We have to stumble through so much dirt and humbug before we reach home. And we have no one to guide us. Our only guide is our homesickness.
Hermann HesseWithout words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.
Hermann HesseA father can pass on his nose and eyes and even his intelligence to his child, but not his soul. In every human being the soul is new
Hermann HesseEvery politician in the world is all for revolution, reason, and disarmament-but only in enemy countries, not in his own.
Hermann HesseI am a star in the firmament that observe the world, despises the world and consumed in its heat. I am the sea by night in a storm the sea shouting that accumulates new sins and to the ancient makes recompense. I am exiled from your world of pride polite, by pride defrauded, I am the king without crown. I am the passion without words without stones of the hearth, without weapons in the war, is my same force that make me sick
Hermann Hesse
