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 HesseHuman life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap.
Hermann Hesse. . . gentleness is stronger than severity, water is stronger than rock, love is stronger than force.
Hermann Hesse
