More From Hermann Hesse

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
Lenten practices of giving up pleasures are good reminders that the purpose of life is not pleasure. the purpose of life is to attain to perfect life, all truth and undying ecstatic love - which is the definition of god. in pursuing that goal we find happiness. pleasure is not the purpose of anything; pleasure is a by-product resulting from doing something that is good. one of the best ways to get happiness and pleasure out of life is to ask ourselves, 'how can i please god?' and, 'why am i not better?' it is the pleasure-seeker who is bored, for all pleasures diminish with repetition.
Giving Up Practice Perfect
A “collective” mind does not exist. it is merely the sum of endless numbers of individual minds. if we have an endless number of individual minds who are weak, meek, submissive and impotent – who renounce their creative supremacy for the sake of the “whole” and accept humbly that the “whole’s” verdict – we don’t get a collective super-brain. we get only the weak, meek, submissive and impotent collective mind.
Numbers Creative Mind
The seeker after truth should be humbler than the dust. the world crushes the dust under its feet, but the seeker after truth should so humble himself that even the dust could crush him. only then, and not till then, will he have a glimpse of truth.
Crush Wise Humble
Just being the seeker, somebody whose open to spiritual enlightenment, is in itself the important thing and it's the reward for being a seeker in this world.
Spiritual Important Enlightenment
The path of the seeker is full of pitfalls and temptations, and the seeker must walk it alone with god. i would recommend that you keep your feet on the ground and your thoughts at lofty heights, so that you may attract only good. concentrate on giving so that you may open yourself to receiving; concentrate on living according to the light you have so that you may open yourself to more light; get as much light as possible through the inner way.

Cowgirl is a spirit, a special brand of courage. the cowgirl faces life head on, lives by her own lights, and makes no excuses. cowgirls take stands. they speak up. they defend the things they hold dear. a cowgirl might be a rancher, or a barrel racer, or a bull rider, or an actress. but she's just as likely to be a checker at the local winn dixie, a full-time mother, a banker, an attorney, or an astronaut.

I have designed my style pantomimes as white ink drawings on black backgrounds, so that man's destiny appears as a thread lost in an endless labyrinth. i have tried to shed some gleams of light on the shadow of man startled by his anguish.
