Hermann Hesse

“Their most primitive, even their wildest feelings were not for the enemy; their bloody task was merely an outward radiation of the inner soul, the divided soul filled with the lust to rage and kill, annihilate and die so that it might be born anew. a giant bird was struggling out. of the egg; the egg was the world and the world must first be rent asunder.”

Herman Hesse, Demian
