annadarling 's review for:
Demian
by Hermann Hesse
challenging
reflective
medium-paced
"If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us."
"I live in my dreams — that's what you sense. Other people live in dreams, but not in their own. That's the difference."
"The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born must first destroy a world."
"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"
