Intrigued by Western and Eastern philosophies, 1946 Literature Nobel Laurerate Hermann Hesse was awarded with these words,

"for his inspired writings which, while growing in boldness and penetration, exemplify the classical humanitarian ideals and high qualities of style."

His last work was The Glass Bead Game. Interesting to note, his popularity in America occurred during the late 1960's and into the out-spoken 1970's. Hesse died in August 1962.

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.

All cut from the same cloth, should we mend our own imperfections, others would also be no longer visible.
