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
Some of us think holding on makes us strong but sometimes it is letting go. – Hermann Hesse
To be able to throw ones self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a womans smile – that is happiness. – Hermann Hesse
Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud. – Hermann Hesse
Dear to us are those who love us… but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life; they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
