Additional quotes by Hermann Hesse

Der Vogel kämpft sich aus dem Ei. Das Ei ist die Welt. Wer geboren werden will, muss eine Welt zerstören.

He saw all these forms and faces in a thousand relationships become newly born. Each one was mortal, a passionate, painful example of all that is transitory. Yet none of them died, they only changed, were always reborn, continually had a new face: only time stood between one face and another.

الأفكار التي نعيشها هي وحدها التي لها قيمة.

The world, as it is now, wants to die, wants to perish — and it will. - Hermann Hesse
