The Journey to the East | Hermann Hesse

Words do not express thoughts very well; everything immediately becomes a little different, a little distorted, a little foolish. And yet it also pleases me and seems right that what is of value and wisdom to one man seems nonsense to another.

The Journey to the East | Hermann Hesse

The whole of world history often seems to me nothing more than a picture book which portrays humanity‘s most powerful and senseless desire–the desire to forget. Does not each generation, by means of suppression, concealment and ridicule, efface what the previous generation considered most important?
