More From Hermann Hesse

It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.
Truth Lying Mean
At the still point of the turning world. neither flesh nor fleshless; neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, but neither arrest nor movement. and do not all it fixity, where past and future are gathered. neither movement from nor towards, neither ascent nor decline. except for the point, the still point, there would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

The will to domination is a ravenous beast. there are never enough warm bodies to satiate its monstrous hunger. once alive, this beast grows and grows, feeding on all the life around it, scouring the earth to find new sources of nourishment. this beast lives in each man who battens on female servitude.

I really want some meaning. it used to be easy to toss it off. now it's harder and harder. you have to navigate just to find something that has nourishment. it's the absence of nourishment. what do you do in place of nourishment? it's usually junk. either it's junk food or junk clothes or junk ideas.
Ideas Clothes Junk
No sovereign, no court, no personal loyalty, no aristocracy, no church, no clergy, no army, no diplomatic service, no country gentlemen, no palaces, no castles, nor manors, nor old country-houses, nor parsonages, nor thatched cottages nor ivied ruins no cathedrals, nor abbeys, nor little norman churches no great universities nor public schools -- no oxford, nor eton, nor harrow no literature, no novels, no museums, no pictures, no political society, no sporting class -- no epsom nor ascot some such list as that might be drawn up of the absent things in american life.

Painting is the making of an analogy for something non-visual and incomprehensible - giving it form and bringing it within reach. and that is why good paintings are incomprehensible. creating the incomprehensible has absolutely nothing to do with turning out any old bunkum, because bunkum is always comprehensible.

Work is already underway today on creating unique high-precision weapons systems and manoeuvrable combat units that will have an unpredictable flight trajectory for the potential opponent. along with the means for overcoming anti-missile defences that we already have, these new types of arms will enable us to maintain what is definitely one of the most important guarantees of lasting peace, namely, the strategic balance of forces.

If the seminary is too large, it ought to be divided into smaller communities with formators who are equipped really to accompany those in their charge. dialogue must be serious, without fear, sincere. it is important to recall that the language of young people in formation today is different from that in the past: we are living through an epochal change. formation is a work of art, not a police action. we must form their hearts. otherwise we are creating little monsters. and then these little monsters mold the people of god. this really gives me goose bumps.

I wait for the next opportunity to have something to do with food. if i get rested, my mind just starts creating new dishes - click, click, click.

Everybody's complaining about all of trump's cabinet members, how rich they are, that's horrible. i'd rather have that than a bunch of people in obama's cabinet that have never spent a minute making a payroll, creating a job, or a service, or inventing a product. what the hell is there about academics from the faculty lounge who don't know what they're talking about other than theoretically. why not have a bunch of people who have succeeded wildly, sharing what they know, implementing what they know nationwide? i would much rather have that.
