Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.

Because the world is so full of death and horror, I try again and again to console my heart and pick the flowers that grow in the midst of hell.

How some straight men in classic literature act: women are smart and beautiful, but they seem so out of reach. 
Anyway, here is my best friend. He is so beautiful. He is the one person I can trust. We might have kissed a few times in this novel, like all good friends do. Did I mention how beautiful he is in this feminine way? It takes my breath away.

But I need to feel beautiful and holy things around me, always: music, mystery cults, symbols, myths. I need it, and I refuse to give it up...that's my fatal flaw.
Hermann Hesse, from “Demian”

“At her very first kiss I could feel something melt in me and hurt in some wonderful way. All the longing I had ever known, all the dreams, all the sweet dread, all the mystery that had been sleeping in me, was roused. Everything was transformed, enchanted.” - Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldman
