Happiness is a how not a what. A talent, not an object. – Hermann Hesse
Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it. – Hermann Hesse

Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity. – Hermann Hesse
