Hermann hesse sayings

Here are some quotes by Hermann Hesse:

1. "Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go."

2. "Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish."

3. "I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me."

4. "If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us."

5. "Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish."

6. "The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must destroy a world."

7. "Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself."

8. "The bird, the pin, the song, the berries, the watch, the cracker, the dress that burst into flames. I am the mockingbird that sings for you at night when you are lost and lonely."

9. "The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must destroy a world."

10. "I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value."
