| 7ce05a1 | The world was beautiful when one just looked at it without | Hermann Hesse | ||
| ef26bf1 | Es una mera ficcion eso de que no existe un puente de union entre una y otra gente, y que todos viven en la soledad y la incomprension. Por lo contrario, lo que la gente tiene en comun con los demas es algo mas grande e importante de lo que cada ser humano tiene por naturaleza y lo que lo distingue de los demas. | love | Hermann Hesse | |
| fd8344d | Al propio tiempo estaba pensando: lo mismo que yo ahora me visto y salgo a la calle, voy a visitar al profesor y cambio con el galanterias, todo ello realmente sin querer, asi hacen, viven y actuan un dia y otro, a todas horas, la mayor parte de los hombres; a la fuerza y, en realidad, sin quererlo, hacen visitas, sostienen una conversacion, estan horas enteras sentados en sus negociados y oficinas, todo a la fuerza, mecanicamente, sin apet.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| bd433ae | If a bell failed to ring, if a stove smoked, if a wheel on a machine stuck, you knew at once where to look and did so with alacrity; you found the defect and knew how to cure it. But the thing within you, the secret mainspring that alone gave meaning to life, the thing within us that alone is living, alone is capable of feeling pleasure and pain, of craving happiness and experiencing it- that was unknown. You knew nothing about that, nothin.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| fb3b6db | This landscape of clouds and sky. At first glance you might think that the depths are there where it is darkest; but then you realize that the darkness and softness are only the clouds and that the depths of the universe begin only at the fringes and fjords of this mountain range of clouds--solemn and supreme symbols of clarity and orderliness. The depths and the mysteries of the universe lie not where the clouds and blackness are; the dept.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 4632d1a | The source ran somewhere, far away from him, ran and ran invisibly, had nothing to do with his life any more. And at several times he suddenly became scared on account of such thoughts and wished that he would also be gifted with the ability to participate in all of this childlike-naive occupations of the daytime with passion and with his heart, really to live, really to act, really to enjoy and to live instead of just standing by as a spec.. | Hermann Hesse | ||

| 4ca2130 | It is understandable that there has been a good deal of joking about purely learned works of this type. Their actual value for the future of scholarship and for the people as a whole cannot be demonstrated. Nevertheless, scholarship, as was true for art in the olden days, must indeed have far-flung grazing grounds, and in pursuit of a subject which interests no one but himself a scholar can accumulate knowledge which provides colleagues wit.. | Hermann Hesse | ||

| 6869494 | the Master and the boy followed each other as if drawn along the wires of some mechanism, until soon it could no longer be discerned which was coming and which going, which following and which leading, the old or the young man. Now it seemed to be the young man who showed honour and obedience to the old man, to authority and dignity; now again it was apparently the old man who was required to follow, serve, worship the figure of youth, of b.. | cyclicality stages-of-life the-transcendental-subject transcendence youth | Hermann Hesse | |

| 2a84480 | wisdom cannot be passed on. Wisdom which a wise man tries to pass on to someone always sounds like foolishness. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 2aaaacc | Look, my dear Govinda, this is one of my thoughts, which I have found: wisdom cannot be passed on. Wisdom which a wise man tries to pass on to someone always sounds like foolishness." "Are you kidding?" asked Govinda. "I'm not kidding. I'm telling you what I've found. 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 .. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| dcd5ddf | He tried to think of death as he had done now and then, but that tired him and he dozed off. When he awoke an hour later, he felt fresh and calm as though he had slept for days. | reflections sleep | Hermann Hesse | |
| 59baeb4 | Cuando odiamos a un hombre, odiamos en su imagen algo que llevamos en nosotros mismos. Lo que no esta tambien en nosotros mismos, nos deja indiferentes. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 7607569 | Having been pondering while slowly walking along, he now stopped as these thoughts caught hold of him, and right away another thought sprang forth from these, a new thought, which was: "That I know nothing about myself, that Siddhartha has remained thus alien and unknown to me, stems from one cause, a single cause: I was afraid of myself, I was fleeing from myself! I searched Atman, I searched Brahman, I was willing to to dissect my self an.. | Hermann Hesse | ||

| 24c0f84 | This private association of mine is a precious possession I would not willingly give up. But the fact that two sensual experiences leap up every time I think, 'spring is coming'--that fact is my own personal affair. It can be communicated, certainly, as I have communicated it to you just now. But it cannot be transmitted. I can make you understand my association, but I cannot so affect a single one of you that my private association will be.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 2828645 | He pondered deeply, like diving into a deep water he let himself sink down to the ground of the sensation, down to the place where the causes lie, because to identify the causes, so it seemed to him, is the very essence of thinking, and by this alone sensations turn into realizations and are not lost, but become entities and start to emit like rays of light what is inside of them. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 87a506a | I have experienced on my body and on my soul that I needed sin very much, I needed lust, the desire for possessions, vanity, and needed the most shameful despair, in order to learn how to give up all resistance, in order to learn how to love the world, in order to stop comparing it to some world I wished, I imagined, some kind of perfection I had made up, but to leave it as it is and to love it and to enjoy being a part of it | hermann hesse | ||
| 8da6894 | Few people nowadays know what man is. Many sense this ignorance and die the more easily because of it . . . I do not consider myself less ignorant than most people . . . I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me. My story is not a pleasant one; it is neither sweet nor harmonious as invented stories are; it has the taste of nonsense and ch.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| eca179b | He began to suffocate slowly in the more and more rarefied atmosphere of remoteness and solitude. For now it was his wish no longer, nor his aim, to be alone and independent, but rather his lot and his sentence. The magic wish had been fulfilled and could not be cancelled, and it was no good now to open his arms with longing and goodwill to welcome the bonds of society. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 32f7c52 | Auch das Schone und Schonste ist verganglich, sobald es Geschichte und Erscheinung auf Erden geworden ist. Wir wissen es und konnen daruber Wehmut empfinden, aber nicht im Ernst es zu andern versuchen; denn es ist unabanderlich. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 586afc2 | con violentos latidos del corazon sentia yo la angustia de todas las angustias: el miedo a la muerte. Aun cuando no veia otra opcion, aun cuando en torno se amontonaban el asco, el dolor y la desesperacion, aun cuando ya nada estaba en condiciones de seducirme, ni de proporcionarme una alegria o una esperanza... | Hermann Hesse | ||

| 103c80c | In any case I fully endorse the singer's attitude towards the booklet that he will write and the child he wishes to educate, for not only am I familiar with the passion for education but the desire to write a small book has for a long time also not been far from my thoughts, and now that I am free of my office this desire has assumed the proportions of a precious and alluring promise--to write a book in all good-humor and at my leisure, a p.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 10cf663 | You've heard the teachings, oh son of a Brahman, and good for you that you've thought about it thus deeply. You've found a gap in it, an error. You should think about this further. But be warned, oh seeker of knowledge, of the thicket of opinions and of arguing about words. There is nothing to opinions, they may be beautiful or ugly, smart or foolish, everyone can support them or discard them. But the teachings, you've heard from me, are no.. | Hermann Hesse | ||

| ad1d1dc | I thought, with a certain amount of sorrow, how much enormous talent there must be in the world for nature simply to toss it away so arbitrarily! But nature could not care less what we think about it, and as far as talent is concerned, there is such an excess that our artists will soon become their own audiences, and audiences made up of ordinary people will no longer exist. | talent | Hermann Hesse | |
| 43fe717 | Asadar, in momentul in care un om face primul pas dilatand acea unitate imaginara a eului sau pana la o dualitate, omul acesta devine aproape un geniu, sau cel putin este o exceptie rara si interesanta. In realitate insa, nici un eu, nici chiar cel mai naiv, nu este unitar, ci este un univers de o diversitate extraordinara, o mica bolta cereasca presarata cu stele, un haos de forma, de trepte si stari, de apucaturi mostenite si de posibilit.. | romanian | Hermann Hesse | |

| 51f2440 | But I am thinking now of your favorite of whom you have talked to me sometimes, and read me, too, some of his letters, of Mozart. How was it with him in his day? Who controlled things in his times and ruled the roost and gave the tone and counted for something? Was it Mozart or the business people, Mozart or the average man? And in what fashion did he come to die and be buried? And perhaps, I mean, it has always been the same and always wil.. | Hermann Hesse | ||

| b4eb2b1 | I don't know whether I love Gina. I doubt it very much. I would not make any sacrifices for her. I do not know whether I can love at all. I can desire and can seek myself in others; I can listen for an echo, demand a mirror, seek pleasure, and all that can look like love. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| e841b89 | The world is going under, I thought, and this notion so little surprised me, it seemed as though I had been waiting a long time for just that to happen. But now, from amid the burning and collapsing city, I saw a boy come toward me. His hands were buried in his pockets and he hopped and skipped from one leg to another, resilient and light-hearted. Then he stopped and emitted an ingenious whistle -- our signal from grade school days, and the.. | Hermann Hesse |
