The true vocation of man is to find his way to himself.
More Quotes from Hermann Hesse:
There was once a man, Harry, called the Steppenwolf. He went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the Steppes. He had learned a good deal of all that people of a good intelligence can, and was a fairly clever fellow. What he had not learned, however, was this to find contentment in himself and his own life.Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse

Hermann Hesse
