This day will never come again and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered to them again in all eternity. The sun will never shine as it does today.

Additional quotes by Hermann Hesse

In any case, the most lively young people become the best old people, not those who pretend to be as wise as grandfathers while they are still at school.

Each of us is merely one human being, merely an experiment, a way station. But each of us should be on the way toward perfection, should be striving to reach the center, not the periphery.

If we accept a home of our own making,
Familiar habit makes for indolence.
We must prepare for parting and leave-taking
Or else remain the slaves of permanence.

This day will never come again and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered to them again in all eternity.… - Hermann Hesse
