Top 5 quotes from Herman Hesse
"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."
"All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened."
"Often it is the most deserving people who cannot help loving those who destroy them."
"...each of us has to find out for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden - forbidden for him. It is possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard. And vice versa. Actually it's only a question of convenience. Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them; things are forbidden to them that every honorable man will do any day in the year and other things are allowed to them that are generally despised. Each person must stand on his own feet."
"If I know what love is, it is because of you."
Top 5 quotes from Glory, Honor, Learning
"By a tranquil mind I mean nothing else than a mind well ordered."
"There are some people that if they don't know, you can't tell 'em."
"How much trouble he avoids who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks."
"It is a secret both in nature and state, that it is safer to change many things than one."
"People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned."
