Hermann Hesse
"It is possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard."

Law

Quote_1.png
Hermann Hesse
"Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish."

Thought

Quote_1.png
Hermann Hesse
"They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Hermann Hesse
"Perhaps people like us cannot love. Ordinary people can - that is their secret."

Love

Quote_1.png
Hermann Hesse
"For awakened human beings, there was no obligation-none, none, none at all-except this: to search for yourself, become sure of yourself, feel your way forward along your own path, wherever it led."

Growth

Quote_1.png
Hermann Hesse
"To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning."

Faith

Quote_1.png
Hermann Hesse
"The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation."

Love

Quote_1.png
Hermann Hesse
"He was pleased with everything that he did and learned and the days and months passed quickly. But he learned more from the river than Vasudeva could teach him. He learned from it continually. Above all, he learned from it how to listen, to listen with a still heart, with a waiting, open soul, without passion, without desire, without judgment, without opinions."

Wisdom

Quote_1.png
Hermann Hesse
"One of the disadwantages of school and learning, he thought dreamily, was that the mind seemed to have the tendency too see and represent all things as though they were flat and had only two dimensions. This, somehow, seemed to render all matters of intellect shallow and worthless."

Learning

Quote_1.png
Hermann Hesse
"One knew nothing. One lived and walked about on the earth or rode through the forests, and so many things looked at one with such challenge and promise, rousing such longing: an evening star, a bluebell, a lake green with reeds, the eye of a human being or of a cow, and at times it seemed as if the very next moment something never seen but long yearned for must happen, as if a veil must drop from everything. But then it passed, and nothing happened, and the riddle was not solved, nor was the secret spell lifted, and finally one became old... and perhaps one still knew nothing, would still be waiting and listening."
