Hermann Hesse Quotes About Desire

• Existe la verdad, muchacho. Pero la doctrina que deseas, el dogma absoluto y perfecto que sólo proporciona sabiduría, no existe. Tampoco deberías anhelar una doctrina perfecta, amigo mío. Más bien, deberías anhelar la perfección de ti mismo. La deidad está dentro de ti, no en ideas y libros. La verdad se vive, no se enseña.

• What I am in search of is not so much the gratification of a curiosity or a passion for worldly life, but something far less conditional. I do not wish to go out into the world with an insurance policy in my pocket guaranteeing my return in the event of a disappointment, like some cautious traveller who would be content with a brief glimpse of the world. On the contrary, I desire that there should be hazards, difficulties and dangers to face; I am hungry for reality, for tasks and deeds, and also for privation and suffering.

  Disappointment, Passion, Reality

• Los que dirigen la fuerza máxima de sus deseos hacia el centro, hacia el verdadero ser, hacia la perfección, parecen más silenciosos que las almas apasionadas porque no siempre puede verse la llama de su fervor.

• If a night-moth were to concentrate its will on flying to a star or some equally unattainable object, it wouldn't succeed. Only, it wouldn't even try in the first place. A moth confines its search to what has sense and value for it, what it needs, what is indispensable to its life... if I imagined that I wanted under all circumstances to get to the North Pole, then to achieve it I would have to desire it strongly enough that my whole being was ruled by it. But if I were to decide to will that the pastor should stop wearing his glasses, it would be useless. That would be making a game of it.

• Was that really love? I saw all these passionate people reel about and drift haphazardly as if driven by a storm, the man filled with desire today, satiated on the morrow, loving fiercely and discarding brutally, sure of no affection and happy in no love.
