Quotes from Hermann Hesse

• The true vocation of man is to find his way to himself.

• I wanted only to try to live in accord with the promptings which came from my true self. Why was that so very difficult?

• If time is not real, then the dividing line between this world and eternity, between suffering and bliss, between good and evil, is also an illusion.

• Most people are like a falling leaf that drifts and turns in the air, flutters, and falls to the ground. But a few others are like stars which travel one defined path: no wind reaches them, they have within themselves their guide and path.
