“I have no right to call myself one who knows. I was one who seeks, and I still am, but I no longer seek in the stars or in books; I'm beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn't pleasant, it's not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

“I wish they would take me as I am.”
― Vincent van Gogh

“I will not make a gift of myself, I must be won”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.”
― Vincent van Gogh
