“It is extremely beautiful to belong to a woman, to give yourself. Don’t laugh if I sound foolish. But to love a woman, you see, to abandon yourself to her, to absorb her completely and feel absorbed by her, that is not what you call ‘being in love,’ which you mock a little. For me it is the road to life, the way toward the meaning of life.”
― Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund

“It was fortunate that love did not need words; or else it would be full of misunderstanding and foolishness.”
― Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund

“Devilish in my innocence.”
― Franz Kafka, Diaries, 1910-1923

“All existence seemed to be based on duality, on contrast. Either one was a man or one was a woman, either a wanderer or sedentary burgher, either a thinking person or a feeling person-no one could breathe in at the same time as he breathed out, be a man as well as a woman, experience freedom as well as order, combine instinct and mind. One always had to pay for one with the loss of the other, and one thing was always just as important and desirable as the other.”
― Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund
