Additional quotes by Hermann Hesse
"No, I'm not religious, I'm sorry to say. But I was once and shall be again. There is no time now to be religious."
"No time. Does it need time to be religious?"
"Oh, yes. To be religious you must have time and, even more, independence of time. You can't be religious in earnest and at the same time live in actual things and still take them seriously, time and money and the Odéon Bar and all that."
