From Herman Hesse - who sought!!! (plagiarism on my part )

"One never reaches home,' she said. 'But where paths that have an affinity for each other intersect, the whole world looks like home, for a time."

"Oh, love isn't there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure."

"I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me."

"I live in my dreams. Other people live in dreams too . . . just not their own."


"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."

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

"You've never lived what you are thinking, and that isn't good. Only the ideas we actually live are of any value."

"Gaze into the fire, into the clouds, and as soon as the inner voices begin to speak..surrender to them. Don't ask first whether it's permitted, or would please your teachers or father or some god. You will ruin yourself if you do that.
