More From Hermann Hesse
- "To be able to throw one’s self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman’s smile – that is happiness."
- "Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity."
- "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."
More In Faith
- "Moderation is part of faith, so those who accuse Muslim schools of fostering fanaticism should learn a bit more about Islam."― Cat Stevens
- "Rome should sometimes intervene and say this or that is not in conformity with the Catholic faith. Theologians should understand that. Some theologians go too far, for example, reducing the Catholic faith to a universal philosophy."― Godfried Danneels
- "Politicians are usually the first to forget that if you assume someone else is acting in bad faith, they will do the same to you. Questioning motives poisons the well."― John Sununu
