Quotes by Hermann Hesse

Happiness is a how not a what. A talent, not an object.

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.

The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.

People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.

As a body everyone is single, as a soul never.
