Additional quotes by Hermann Hesse

As every flower fades and as all youth departs, so life at every stage, So every virtue, so our grasp of truth,
Blooms in its day and may not last forever.

Things are going downhill with you!' he said to himself, and laughed about it, and as he was saying it, he happened to glance at the river, and he also saw the river going downhill, always moving on downhill, and singing and being happy through it all.

Never is a man wholly a saint or a sinner.

In eternity there is no time, only an instant long enough for a joke. - Hermann Hesse
