Love can be begged, bought, or received as a gift, one can find it in the street, but one cannot steal it.
Hermann HesseStichwörter: love
He saw mankind going through life in a childlike manner... which he loved but also despised.... He saw them toiling, saw them suffering, and becoming gray for the sake of things which seemed to him to be entirely unworthy of this price, for money, for little pleasures, for being slightly honoured....
Hermann HesseStichwörter: suffering
The things we see are the same things that are within us. There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself.
Hermann HesseWhat is meditation?... It is fleeing from the self, it is a short escape of the agony of being a self, it is a short numbing of the senses against the pain and the pointlessness of life. The same escape, the same short numbing is what the driver of an ox-cart finds in the inn, drinking a few bowls of rice wine or fermented coconut-milk.
Hermann HesseStichwörter: avoidance
Things are going downhill with you!' he said to himself, and laughed about it, and as he was saying it, he happened to glance at the river, and he also saw the river going downhill, always moving on downhill, and singing and being happy through it all.

but what is it you wanted to learn from the teachings and teachers, and those who taught you so much, what could they not teach you?" and he concluded: "it was the i, whose meaning and essence i wanted to learn. it was the i, from which i wanted release, which i wanted to conquer. but i could not conquer it, i could only deceive it, only flee from it, only hide myself from it. truly, nothing in the world has taken up so much of my thinking as this i of mine, this conundrum, that i am alive, that i am one and separate and cut off from everyone else, that i am siddhartha! and about nothing in the world do i know less about than me, about siddhartha!
Hermann HesseWer lieben kann, ist glusklick.
Hermann HesseOur god's name is Abraxas and he is God and Satan and he contains both the luminous and the dark world.
Hermann HesseViele sagen, sie "lieben die Natur". Das heißt, sie sind nicht abgeneigt, je und je ihre dargebotenen Reize sich gefallen zu lassen.
Sie gehen hinaus und freuen sich über die Schönheit der Erde, zertreten die Wiesen und reißen schließlich eine Menge Blumen und Zweige ab, um sie bald wieder wegzuwerfen oder daheim verwelken zu lassen. So lieben sie die Natur.

He saw merchants trading, princes hunting, mourners wailing for their dead, whores offering themselves, physicians trying to help the sick, priests determining the most suitable day for seeding, lovers loving, mothers nursing their children—and all of this was not worthy of one look from his eye, it all lied, it all stank, it all stank of lies, it all pretended to be meaningful and joyful and beautiful, and it all was just concealed putrefaction. The world tasted bitter. Life was torture
