“This world, as it now is, wants to die, it wants to perish, and it will! “And what will become of us then?” I asked. “Us? Oh, maybe we’ll perish, too.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian

“I lost a lot by doing violence to my dreams of love when I was your age. No one should do that. If a person knows about Abraxas, he must no longer do that. He should be afraid of nothing and consider nothing taboo that the soul within us desires.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian

“Let the students frequent their taverns and tattoo their faces; let the world be rotten and await its destruction—what was that to me? I was waiting solely for my destiny to come face to face with me in a new guise.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian

“We marked men were not at all worried about the shape the future would take. To us every credo, every doctrine of salvation seemed stillborn and useless. And there was only one thing we conceived as our duty and destiny: for each of us to become so completely himself, so completely in harmony with the creative germ of Nature within himself, living in accordance with its commands, that the uncertain future would find us ready for any eventuality, whatever it might bring.”
― Hermann Hesse, Demian
