Hermann Hesse Quotes:

Ocupation: Poet

Life: July 2, 1877 - August 9, 1962

Birthday: July 2

Death: August 9

A soul that is ruined in the bud will frequently return to the springtime of its beginning and its promise-filled childhood, as though it could discover new hopes there and retie the broken threads of life. The shoots grow rapidly and eagerly, but it is only a sham life that will never be a genuine tree.
