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.
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time.
Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.
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.
Words
do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little
different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a
little foolish.
The truth is lived, not taught.
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.
As a body everyone is single, as a soul never.
It
is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other,
to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.
Hermann Hesse/Quotes
“Solitude is independence. It had been my wish and with the years I
had attained it. It was cold. Oh, cold enough! But it was also still,
wonderfully still and vast like the cold stillness of space in which the
stars revolve.”
― Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf
