Famous quotes by Hermann Hesse:

"Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it."

"People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest."

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

"The truth is lived, not taught."

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

"I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value."

"Perhaps people like us cannot love. Ordinary people can - that is their secret"

"If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us"

"There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself."

"What could I say to you that would be of value, except that perhaps you seek too much, that as a result of your seeking you cannot find."

"Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke."

"If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us."

"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."

"One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time."

"All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened."

"Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud."

"When dealing with the insane, the best method is to pretend to be sane."

"The bourgeois prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to the deathly inner consuming fire."

"You are only afraid if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves."

"To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness."
