Hesse - Quote

such a great quote.

Nice

I love this Hermann Hesse quote. I'm sad that I gave away his book. L/F Wandering Read My rating: [ 5 of 5 stars ] Wandering by Hermann Hesse 4.03 · Hesse wrote to Romain Rolland: "I have had to bear a very heavy burden in my personal life in recent years. Now I am about to go to Ticino once again, to live for a while as a hermit in nature and in my work." In 1920, after settling in the Ticino mountain village of Montagnola, he published Wandering, a love letter to this magic-garden world that can be read as a meditation on his attempt to begin a new life. His pure prose, his heartfelt lyricism, and his love for the old earth, for its blessings that renew themselves, all sing in this serene book. The first German edition of Wandering included facsimiles of fourteen watercolor landscapes. Hesse's painting had blossomed in the southern countryside and he even toyed with the idea "that I might still succeed in escaping literature entirely and making a living at the more appealing trade of painter." Unfortunately, his original pictures for Wandering have disappeared; this edition reproduces in black-and-white the full-color reproductions of the 1920 edition. (less)

I listen, now, to my blood whisperings...........

An epitaph to live by perhaps, but I like, too, the part of the quote that precedes it: "I do not consider myself less ignorant than most people. I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me.". I love quotes and poetry of men and women far wiser than I.

After the epiphany....a reminder...to myself!

Love these quotes - they speak to me, to many of us I imagine!

Reynold, thanks, for all. Shall do: but, I did, and will try again re Joanne. VIVA

This gives one something to ponder Viva! Use the search box to find Joanne Schaaf ... I see your note that you did attempt to find her. Thank you. Well done and FAVORITE

The answer, my Friend, is Yes ( in part! quite a tome)...VIVA

His novel, Siddhartha is a masterpiece. It's spellbinding. Have you read it ? I hope the answer is yes.

Wow! Such a great quote, and i love how you've given it an antique typewriter style!

This is really moving. Even to me. I mean I figure I only really have 2 things going for me in life: 1) I'm too shallow to fall in love with an ugly woman; and 2) I'm too vain to get fat (injuries took care of that one.)

Thanks dear Lenore..........can't claim the design,it's a quote that resonates, which I found/kept while online.........I stand by this one, especially.......VIVA

Wow! I love this and how you did it with an old-fashioned typewriter!! Awesome! v/f!!
