I do want more. I am not content with being happy. I was not made for it. It is not my destiny. My destiny is the opposite.

Hay quienes se consideran perfectos, pero es sólo porque exigen menos de sí mismos

By Hermann Hesse

Cuando se teme a alguien es porque a ese alguien le hemos concedido poder sobre nosotros

By Hermann Hesse

No digas de ningún sentimiento que es pequeño o indigno. No vivimos de otra cosa que de nuestros pobres, hermosos y magníficos sentimientos, y cada uno de ellos contra el que cometemos una injusticia es una estrella que apagamos

By Hermann Hesse

Para que pueda surgir lo posible. Es preciso intentar una y otra vez lo imposible

By Hermann Hesse

La belleza no hace feliz al que la posee, sino a quien puede amarla y adorarla

By Hermann Hesse

Whither will my path yet lead me? This path is stupid, it goes in spirals, perhaps in circles, but whichever way it goes, I will follow it.

By Hermann Hesse

Not in his speech, not in his thoughts, I see his greatness, only in his actions, in his life.

By Hermann Hesse

I believe that I am not responsible for the meaningfulness or meaninglessness of life, but that I am responsible for what I do with the life I've got.

By Hermann Hesse

You've never lived what you are thinking, and that isn't good. Only the ideas we actually live are of any value.

By Hermann Hesse

An occasionally, I became very sad over that happiness, because I was well aware it couldn't last.

By Hermann Hesse

Perhaps people like us cannot love. Ordinary people can - that is their secret.

By Hermann Hesse

When you like someone, you like them in spite of their faults. When you love someone, you love them with their faults.

By Hermann Hesse

Oh, love isn't there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure.

By Hermann Hesse

If I know what love is, it is because of you.

By Hermann Hesse

It was fortunate that love did not need words; or else it would be full of misunderstanding and foolishness.
