Hermann Hesse Quotes
Every Age, Every Culture, Every Ethos And Tradition Has A Style Of Its Own, Has The Varieties Of Gentleness And Harshness, Of Beauty And Cruelty That Are Appropriate To It. Each Age Will Take Certain Kinds Of Suffering For Granted, Will Patiently Accept Certain Wrongs. Human Life Becomes A Real Hell Of Suffering Only When Two Ages, Two Cultures And Religions Overlap. Required To Live In The Middle Ages, Someone From The Graeco-Roman Period Would Have Died A Wretched Death By Suffocation, Just As A Savage Inevitably Would In The Midst Our Civilization. Now, There Are Times When A Whole Generation Gets Caught To Such An Extent Between Two Eras, Two Styles Of Life, That Nothing Comes Naturally To It Since It Has Lost All Sense Of Morality, Security And Innocence. A Man Of Nietzsche's Mettle Had To Endure Our Present Misery More Than A Generation In Advance. Today, Thousands Are Enduring What He Had To Suffer Alone And Without Being Understood.
