Hermann Hesse
“We who bore the mark might well be considered by the rest of the world as strange, even as insane and dangerous. We had awoken, or were awakening, and we were striving for an ever perfect state of wakefulness, whereas the ambition and quest for happiness of the others consisted of linking their opinions, ideals, and duties, their life and happiness, ever more closely with those of the herd. They, too, strove; they, too showed signs of strength and greatness. But as we saw it, whereas we marked men represented Nature's determination to create something new, individual, and forward-looking, the others lived in the determination to stay the same. For them mankind--which they loved as much as we did--was a fully formed entity that had to be preserved and protected. For us mankind was a distant future toward which we were all journeying, whose aspect no one knew, whose laws weren't written down anywhere.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

Hermann Hesse
“For the first time in my life I tasted death, and death tasted bitter, for death is birth, is fear and dread of some terrible renewal.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

Hermann Hesse
“An enlightened man had but one duty - to seek the way to himself, to reach inner certainty, to grope his way forward, no matter where it led.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

Hermann Hesse
“At one time I had given much thought to why men were so very rarely capable of living for an ideal. Now I saw that many, no, all men were capable of dying for one.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

Hermann Hesse
“I realize that some people will not believe that a child of little more than ten years is capable of having such feelings. My story is not intended for them. I am telling it to those who have a better knowledge of man. The adult who has learned to translate a part of his feelings into thoughts notices the absence of these thoughts in a child, and therefore comes to believe that the child lacks these experiences, too. Yet rarely in my life have I felt and suffered as deeply as at that time.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

Hermann Hesse
“Novelists when they write novels tend to take an almost godlike attitude toward their subject, pretending to a total comprehension of the story, a man's life, which they can therefore recount as God Himself might, nothing standing between them and the naked truth, the entire story meaningful in every detail. I am as little able to do this as the novelist is, even though my story is more important to me than any novelist's is to him - for this is my story; it is the story of a man, not of an invented, or possible, or idealized, or otherwise absent figure, but of a unique being of flesh and blood, Yet, what a real living human being is made of seems to be less understood today than at any time before, and men - each one of whom represents a unique and valuable experiment on the part of nature - are therefore shot wholesale nowadays. If we were not something more than unique human beings, if each one of us could really be done away with once and for all by a single bullet, storytelling would lose all purpose. But every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way and never again. That is why every man's story is important, eternal, sacred; that is why every man, as long as he lives and fulfills the will of nature, is wondrous, and worthy of every consideration. In each individual the spirit has become flesh, in each man the creation suffers, within each one a redeemer is nailed to the cross.”

Hermann Hesse
“... E por que t锚m medo? S贸 se tem medo quando n茫o se est谩 de acordo consigo mesmo. T锚m medo porque jamais se atreveram a perseguir seus pr贸prios impulsos interiores. Uma comunidade formada por indiv铆duos atemorizados com o desconhecido que levam dentro de si.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

Hermann Hesse
“N茫o h谩 porque te compares com os demais, e se a natureza te criou para morcego, n茫o deves aspirar ser avestruz. 脿s vezes te consideras por demais esquisito e te reprovas por seguires caminhos diversos dos da maioria. Deixa-te disso. Contempla o fogo, as nuvens e quando surgirem press谩gios e as vozes soarem em tua alma abandona-te a elas sem perguntares se isso conv茅m.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

Hermann Hesse
“The surrender to Nature's irrational, strangely confused formations produces in us a feeling of inner harmony with the force responsible for these phenomena. We soon fall prey to the temptation of thinking of them as being our own moods, our own creations, and see the boundaries separating us from Nature begin to quiver and dissolve. We become acquainted with that state of mind in which we are unable to decide whether the images on our retina are the result of impressions coming from without or from within. Nowhere as in this exercise can we discover so easily and so simply to what extent we are creative, to what extent our soul partakes of the constant creation of the world. For it is the same indivisible divinity that is active through us and in Nature, and if the outside world were to be destroyed, a single one of us would be capable of rebuilding it: mountain and stream, tree and leaf, root and flower, yes, every natural form is latent within us, originates in the soul whose essence is eternity, whose essence we cannot know but which often intimates itself to us as the power to love and create.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

Hermann Hesse
“Besides-neither of us knows why you happen to be drinking wine at this moment.
That which is within you and directs your life knows already. It's good to realize that within us there is someone
who knows everything, wills everything, does everything better than we ourselves.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian / Siddhartha

“However, one can study someone very closely and then one can often know almost exactly what he thinks or feels and thenone can also anticipate what he will do the next moment. It's simple enough, only people don't know it.”

Hermann Hesse
“I had often toyed with pictures of the future, dreamed of r么les which might be assigned to me鈥攁s a poet, maybe, or prophet or painter or kindred vocation. All that was futile. I was not there to write poetry, to preach or paint; neither I nor any other man was there for that purpose. They were only incidental things. There was only one true vocation for everybody鈥攖o find the way to himself. He might end as poet, lunatic, prophet or criminal鈥攖hat was not his affair; ultimately it was of no account. His affair was to discover his own destiny, not something of his own choosing, and live it out wholly and resolutely within himself.”
Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse
“Desde crian莽a, sempre me agradava contemplar as formas estranhas da natureza, n茫o como observador que investiga, mas abandonando-me apenas ao seu encanto peculiar, 脿 sua profunda e complexa linguagem.”
Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse
“Only the ideas that we really live have any value. You have known that your 'permitted' world was only half of the world and you have tried to subjugate the second half after the manner of the priests and teachers. It will not be to your benefit! It benefits no one once he has begun to think!”

Hermann Hesse
“We always define the limits of our personality too narrowly. In general, we count as part of our personality only that which we can recognize as being an individual trait or as diverging from the norm. But we consist of everything the world consists of, each of us, and just as our body contains the genealogical table of evolution as far back as the fish and even much further, so we bear everything in our soul that once was alive in the soul
of men. Every god and devil that ever existed, be it among the Greeks, Chinese, or Zulus, are within us, exist as latent possibilities, as wishes, as alternatives. If the human race
were to vanish from the face of the earth save for one halfway talented child that had received no education, this child would rediscover the entire course of evolution,
it would be capable of producing everything once more, gods and demons, paradises, commandments, the Old and
New Testament.”

“芦Piccolo Sinclair, sta鈥� attento. Io dovr貌 andarmene. Un giorno avrai forse bisogno di me, di nuovo contro Kromer o altro. Se mi chiamerai, non verr貌 pi霉 cos矛 volgarmente a cavallo o col treno. Allora dovrai ascoltare te stesso, e ti accorgerai che dentro ci sar貌 io. 禄

...

La medicazione fu dolorosa. Tutto ci貌 che mi avvenne dopo quel giorno fu doloroso. Ma talvolta, quando trovo la chiave mi sprofondo dentro di me, dove le visioni del destino dormono nello specchio buio, basta che mi chini sopra questo specchio per vedere la mia propria immagine che 猫 in tutto uguale a lui, a lui, mio amico e guida.

Demian, Hermann Hesse”

Hermann Hesse, Demian

Hermann Hesse
“But whereas we, in our conception, represented the will of nature to renew itself, to individualize and march forward, the others lived in the desire for the perpetuation of things as they are. For them humanity鈥攚hich they loved as we did鈥攚as something complete that must be maintained and protected. For us humanity was a distant goal towards which we were marching, whose image no one yet know, whose laws were nowhere written down.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

“She rose to her feet and preceded me into the garden twilight. Tall and queenly, the woman of mystery strolled among the silent trees and above her head the myriad stars glowed tenderly.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian

“I was not afraid of anyone and my schoolmates knew it too. They treated me with a furtive respect that often made me laugh. I could see right though most of them whenever I wanted, and I sometimes startled and amazed them by doing so. But I rarely or never wanted to. I cared only about myself, always myself. But I desperately yearned to someday, at long last, live a little too: to put something of myself out into the world; to struggle against, and connect with, the world.”

“One more thing! Eve said if you're ever in trouble, I should give you the kiss from her she sent with me. Close your eyes, Sinclair!

I obediently closed my eyes and felt a light kiss on my lips, where I still had a little blood that refused to ever go away. Then I fell asleep.”
Herman Hesse
