Hermann Hesse : (4)

" It was as if all of the happiness, all of the magic of this blissful hour had flowed together into these stirring, bittersweet tones and flowed away, becoming temporal and transitory once more. " - Hermann Hesse

" Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good, patience is better. " - Hermann Hesse

" The world is not imperfect or slowly evolving along a path to perfection. No, it is perfect at every moment, every sin already carries grace in it. " - Hermann Hesse

" It was still quiet in the house, and not a sound was heard from outside, either. Were it not for this silence, my reverie would probably have been disrupted by reminders of daily duties, of getting up and going to school. " - Hermann Hesse
