How beautiful the world was when one looked at it

without searching, just looked, simply and innocently.

~ Herman Hesse

Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.

~ Hermann Hesse

It is not for me to judge another man's life. I must judge, I must choose, I must spurn, purely for myself. For myself, alone.

~ Hermann Hesse

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.

~ Herman Hesse

Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself. Everything else was only a would-be existence, an attempt at evasion.
