| 26f838d | to whom else should one pay honor, but to Him, Atman, the Only One? And where was Atman to be found, where did He dwell, where did His eternal heart beat, if not within the Self, in the innermost, in the eternal which each person carried within him. | Hermann Hesse | ||

| 7ab6a75 | He raised himself above her pallid face and kissed her on both closed eyes and thought: she thinks she is taking and does not know that she is giving; in her loneliness she has fled to me and does not suspect my loneliness. | love | Hermann Hesse | |
| 1107d8d | Suddenly street and city became transformed, had the unfamiliar face that familiar things take on when our heart has taken leave of them. He looked back at the door of the house: it had become the door to a strange house that was now closed to him. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 371024e | In the mango grove, shade poured into his black eyes, when playing as a boy, when his mother sang, when the sacred offerings were made, when his father, the scholar, taught him, when the wise men talked. For a long time, Siddhartha had been partaking in the discussions of the wise men, practising debate with Govinda, practising with Govinda the art of reflection, the service of meditation. He already knew how to speak the Om silently, the w.. | Hermann Hesse | ||

| d8326c9 | U zivotu ne postoji nikakva duznost osim duznosti: biti srecan. Samo smo zato na svetu, a sa svim duznostima, svim moralom i svim zapovedima retko cinimo jedno drugoga srecnim, jer i sebe time ne cinimo srecnima. Ako covek moze biti dobar, moze to samo onda kada je srecan, kada u sebi ima sklada, dakle kada voli. To je bilo ucenje, jedino ucenje na svetu. To je rekao Isus, To je rekao Buda, To je rekao Hegel. Za svakoga je na ovome svetu je.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 8983637 | ne aflam in cu totul alte raporturi fata de muzica clasica decat oamenii din epocile care au creat-o; veneratia spiritualizata si nu intotdeauna suficient eliberata de sub stapanirea unei melancolii resemnate, nutrita de noi fata de adevarata muzica, este cu totul altceva decat senina placere naiva iscata de muzica in vremurile in care a aparut [...] | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 9acb10b | He saw people living for their sake, saw them achieving endless things for their sake, traveling, waging wars, suffering endlessly, enduring endlessly, and he could love them for that; | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 8dd2b04 | Ne prilici mi da dajem sud o zivotu drugih! Jedino sam za sebe moram da presudim, da odaberem, da odbijam. | presuda sud život | Hermann Hesse | |
| 58a3712 | Like when someone, who has eaten and drunk far too much, vomits it back up again with agonising pain and is nevertheless glad about the relief, thus this sleepless man wished to free himself of these pleasures, these habits and all of this pointless life and himself, in an immense burst of disgust. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| bcb6c74 | But there is one thing which these so clear, these so venerable teachings do not contain: they do not contain the mystery of what the exalted one has experienced for himself, he alone among hundreds of thousands. This is what I have thought and realized, when I have heard the teachings. This is why I am continuing my travels--not to seek other, better teachings, for I know there are none, but to depart from all teachings and all teachers an.. | nirvana siddhartha | Hermann Hesse | |
| 8d540f2 | He has presumably never observed a real wolf closely, otherwise he might have seen that animals too have no such things as unified souls; that the beautiful, taut frames of their bodies house a whole variety of aspirations and states of mind; that wolves suffer too, having dark depths within them. Oh no, human beings are always desperately mistaken and bound to suffer when they try to get 'back to nature'. Harry can never fully become a wol.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 8a5e90d | When you listen to radio you are a witness of the everlasting war between idea and appearance, between time and eternity, between the human and the divine. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 6732444 | Intensity of life is only possible at the expense of self. But there is nothing members of the bourgeoisie value more highly than self, albeit only at a rudimentary stage of development. Thus, at the expense of intensity, they manage to preserve their selves and make them secure. Instead of possession by God, an easy conscience is the reward they reap; instead of desire, contentment; instead of liberty, cosiness; instead of life-threatening.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 4bfe8c8 | How exhausting all this was. In fact, if only people knew how madly tiresome it is to be a criminal...! | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 945913a | Music does not depend on being right, on having good taste and education and all that." "Indeed. Then what does it depend on?" "On making music, Herr Haller, on making music as well and as much as possible and with all the intensity of which one is capable." | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 15e99a9 | Yalniz yasiyorsunuz, yalnizliginizdan sizi yoksun birakmak istemem. Ama zaman zaman insan temiz kalpli ve durust birinin yuzunu gormeden duramiyor. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| cb061b5 | But things are not so simple in life as in our thoughts, nor so rough and ready as in our poor idiotic language; and Harry lies about himself twice over when he employs this niggardly wolf-theory. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 3c48ca4 | Knowledge can be expressed, but not wisdom. One can discover it, one can live it, one can be borne along by it, one can do miracles with it, but one cannot express it and teach it. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 5b33c04 | Slower, he walked along in his thoughts and asked himself: "But what is this, what you have sought to learn from teachings and from teachers, and what they, who have taught you much, were still unable to teach you?" And he found: "It was the self, the purpose and essence of which I sought to learn. It was the self, I wanted to free myself from, which I sought to overcome. But I was not able to overcome it, could only deceive it, could only .. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 4055983 | The weeks up there were almost the most beautiful in my life. I breathed the pure, clear air, drank the icy water from streams and watched the herds of goats grazing on the steep slopes, guarded by dark-haired, musing goatherds. At times I heard storms resound through the valley and saw mists and clouds at unusually close quarters. In the clefts of rocks I observed the small, delicate, bright coloured flowers and the many wonderful mosses, .. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| ee04b7f | Damit hing auch sein Bedurfnis nach Einsamkeit und nach Unabhangigkeit zusammen. Nie hat ein Mensch ein tieferes, leidenschaftlicheres Bedurfnis nach Unabhangigkeit gehabt als er. In seiner Jugendzeit, als er noch arm war und Muhe hatte, sein Brot zu verdienen, zog er es vor, zu hungern und in zerrissenen Kleidern zu gehen, nur um dafur ein Stuckchen Unabhangigkeit zu retten. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 1787406 | Zugleich dachte ich: so wie ich jetzt mich anziehe und ausgehe, den Professor besuche und mehr oder weniger erlogene Artigkeiten mit ihm austausche, alles ohne es eigentlich zu wollen, so tun und leben und handeln die meisten Menschen Tag fur Tag, Stunde um Stunde zwanghaft und ohne es eigentlich zu wollen, machen Besuche, fuhren Unterhaltungen, sitzen Amts- und Bureaustunden ab, alles zwanghaft, mechanisch, ungewollt, alles konnte ebensogu.. | bürgertum | Hermann Hesse | |

| c7ca7c6 | Is tikruju jis niekada nesugebejo visiskai istirpti kitame zmoguje ir jam atsiduoti, uzmirsti save, padaryti kvailyste is meiles kitam; niekada jis to nemokejo, ir tada jam atrode, kad kaip tik sis bruozas skyre ji nuo vaikisku zmoniu. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| e92626b | Kamaswami entered, a swiftly, smoothly moving man with very gray hair, with very intelligent, cautious eyes, with a greedy mouth. Politely, the host and the guest greeted one another. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| c75b685 | He already knew to feel Atman in the depths of his being, indestructible, one with the universe. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 4f0e188 | Disclosing his wound to this listener was the same as bathing it in the river, until it became cool and one with the river. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 7608311 | You are clever, O Samana," said the Illustrious One, "you know how to speak cleverly, my friend. Be on your guard against too much cleverness." | Hermann Hesse | ||
| e6e2873 | No, there was no teaching a truly searching person, someone who truly wanted to find, could accept. But he who had found, he could approve of any teachings, every path, every goal, there was nothing standing between him and all the other thousand any more who lived in that what is eternal, who breathed what is divine. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 75b1837 | Je ne voulais qu'essayer de vivre ce que je portais en moi. Pourquoi etait-ce si difficile? | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 7a2a722 | Y lo que, por el contrario, me sucede a mi en las raras horas de placer, lo que para mi es delicia, suceso, elevacion y extasis, eso no lo conoce, ni lo ama, ni lo busca el mundo mas que si acaso en las novelas; en la vida, lo considera una locura. Y en efecto, si el mundo tiene razon, si esta musica de los cafes, estas diversiones en masa, estos hombres americanos contentos con tan poco tienen razon, entonces soy yo el que no la tiene, ent.. | existencialismo existentialism hesse life lobo lobo-estepario modern-life vida-moderna | Hermann Hesse | |
| ae5445c | La seriedad (...) se produce por una hiperestimacion del tiempo. (...) En la eternidad, sin embargo, no hay tiempo: la eternidad es solo un instante, lo suficientemente largo para una broma. | eternidad eternidade eternity existencialismo existentialism tiempo time | Hermann Hesse | |
| 5d914d1 | Searching means having a goal, but finding means being free, being open, having no goal. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| af9f444 | Perhaps this, that you are seeking all too much? That all your seeking is making you unable to find?" "How is this?" Govinda asked. "When a person seeks," Siddhartha said, "it can easily happen that his eye sees only the thing he is seeking; he is incapable of finding anything, of allowing anything to enter into him, because he is always thinking only of what he is looking for, because he has a goal, because he is possessed by his goal. See.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| ae314d9 | Therefore, it seems to me that everything that exists is good--death as well as life, sin as well as holiness, wisdom as well as folly. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 3c2ef5b | This change did not bring me into the community of the others, did not make me closer to anyone, but actually made me even lonelier. My reformation seemed to point in the direction of Demian, but even this was a distant fate. I did not know myself, for I was too deeply involved. It had begun with Beatrice, but for some time I had been living in such an unreal world with my paintings and my thoughts of Demian that I'd forgotten all about her.. | loneliness | Hermann Hesse | |
| 815765f | And so the Steppenwolf had two natures, a human and a wolfish one. This was his fate, and it may well be that it was not a very exceptional one. There must have been many men who have had a good deal of the dog or the fox, of the fish or the serpent in them without experiencing any extraordinary difficulties on that account. In such cases, the man and the fish lived on together and neither did the other any harm. The one even helped the oth.. | human-nature | Hermann Hesse | |
| 1417033 | there is good and reason in us ... with whom fortune plays, and we can be stronger than ... fate, if only for a few hours. ... we can draw closer to one another in times of need, understand and love one another, and live to comfort each other. | Hermann Hesse |
