一切二元对立都是错觉：黑与白是错觉，生与死是错觉，善与恶是错觉。
对付死亡我不需要武器，因为死亡本不存在。唯有一种东西存在：对死亡的恐惧。
你只需一小时的功课，便可战胜恐惧。但李太白不愿这样，李爱着死亡，爱他对死亡的恐惧，爱他的忧郁和悲哀，因为死亡让他懂得自己会什么，我们爱他什么。
我曾是自由思想者，以为虔诚是种精神疾病；我曾是禁欲苦行者，让钉子刺入肉体。我那时不知道，虔诚意味着健康快乐。

About Hermann Hesse
Hermann Hesse (born July 2, 1877,
Calw, Germany - died Aug. 9, 1962, Montagnola, Switzerland) is one of
Germany’s most celebrated novelist and poet.
With an interesting family background
which was a mix of Pietism and scholarly achievements, Hermann Hesse had
a troubled childhood. He left the seminary because of his inability to
adapt to the life there and even fought with his parents. In 1892 he
attempted suicide and was placed in separate mental institutions. The
novel Demian (1919), influenced by his experience with psychoanalysis,
made him famous.
Profoundly affected by the mysticism
of Eastern thought, most of his works pay special attention to the individual's
self-realization and bear a vital spiritual force aligning with
counter-culture values.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Literature in 1946.
