I love Herman Hesse

“We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is: each the other's opposite and complement.”

Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund

The only book by him I have read is Siddhartha. But I was probably too young to appreciate it (I was in high school.) I often think of reading it again at this stage of my life.

He was a great writer … my favorite book by him was Damian but he won a Nobel prize for his book, Steppenwolf ….
