The Wisdom of Herman Hesse

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

• A spiritually rich person is always strong in public.
• Life is always dangerous, but at the same time it is beautiful.
• Subduing the two opposite poles of life to each other, putting his magic tune on paper, is probably not my destiny. But I still keep doing it over and over again, listening to the horn inside me. After all, it is because of these attempts that I am still alive.
• The true deed of man is to find himself.
• I got all my knowledge from poets.
• There are probably no people who are as ambitious and respectful as people who are engaged in mental work. In fact, they need praise and encouragement.
• A person who does not know his language well, does not love it, does not protect it, is ashamed to admit that he is a poet of the people.
• Although we always need the sound of the intellect, we do not listen to it much.
• Do we not know that our destiny is predestined and inevitable? We know. But we are helpless - we can not refrain from giving in to the fantasies of the right to choose, freedom of will.
Beauty and death, joy and death - they always go together like twins, one demands the other, what a surprise!
Reality is usually a bit more distasteful than emblems that make dreams come true.
• Mental and physical laziness are always side by side.
• Ten intelligent readers are preferred over a thousand indifferent readers.
• Reading a book without thinking is like walking blindfolded in the beautiful nature. We need to read to get a deeper understanding of life, not to be distracted from the worries of life. The book should be approached not as a daring reader in front of a passionate teacher, but as a courageous climber ready to conquer the highest peaks.
• Reading should not dilute our brains, but mobilize us to new ideas. The book does not fill our heads with trivial details about life and fill us with false comforts, but gives us a deeper meaning in life.

• It may seem like a meltdown to the reader, but for us writers - a thrilling adventure full of creative excitement and anguish - is a voyage in a savings boat across the stormy sea, a solitary flight in the bosom of the universe.
• I doubt the artist's ability to say that he can't write without a bright room, a comfortable desk, and the usual writing instruments.
• "Kairos" (Greek "opportunity") means a good time, a moment of good luck. A true work is born with a more "kairos" reason, not with an intention or someone's order.
• When the time comes, there will be a sinful generation who repents before God rather than ninety-nine pious ones!
• Beauty will make happy the person who loves and worships it, not its owner.
• Beauty takes a pinch of charm from the fan.
• Beauty is the manifestation of truth.
• A person who lives in fear of the future will be deprived of the pleasures of life, even of his true life. So leave the day and time alone!
• The paradise of paradise became clear after we were expelled from it.
• As long as happiness is invisible, it can be saved.
• Whoever enjoys productive work, his average life will be even worse.
• It is necessary to walk the path of life with courage. If we are afraid of someone, it is because we have given our footsteps to that person.
• As long as one cannot reconcile with oneself, one cannot be united, of course, courage will prevail.
• I lived a life like the one in the brochure, feeling no need for freedom or beauty, yet the fireplace was always doomed to loneliness.
• Loneliness is hurricane.
