  Hermann Hesse (2015). “Siddhartha: An Indian Tale”, p.107, Om Books International

• You should not take old people who are already dead seriously. It does them injustice. We immortals do not like things to be taken seriously. We like joking. Seriousness, young man, is an accident of time. It consists, I don't mind telling you in confidence, in putting too high a value on time. I, too, once put too high a value on time. For that reason I wished to be a hundred years old. In eternity, however, there is no time, you see. Eternity is a mere moment, just long enough for a joke.

  Hermann Hesse

  Taken, Men, Years

  Hermann Hesse (1980). “Six Novels: With Other Stories and Essays”

• Every natural form is latent within us, originates in the soul whose essence is eternity, whose essence we cannot know but which most often intimates itself to us as the power to love and create.
