Quotes

Herman Hesse quote: "Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good,..."
Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good, patience is better. Herman Hesse
The scholar who knowingly speaks, writes, or teaches falsehood, who knowingly supports lies and deceptions, not only violates organic principles. He also, no matter how things may seem at the given moment, does his people a grave disservice. He corrupts its air and soil, its food and drink; he poisons its thinking and its laws, and he gives aid and comfort to all the hostile, evil forces that threaten the nation with annihilation. Herman Hesse

Herman Hesse quote: "Writing is good, thinking is better. Being smart is good,..."

Herman Hesse quote: "Without words, without writing and without books there would..."
Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity. Herman Hesse
It is not Kafka's fault that his wonderful writings have lately turned into a fad, and are read by people who have neither the ability nor the desire to absorb literature. Herman Hesse
Painting is marvelous; it makes you happier and more patient. Afterwards you do not have black fingers as with writing, but blue and red ones. Herman Hesse
