“If an animal or man bends his whole will to a certain end, he achieves it. It’s as simple as that. Examine a man closely enough and you’ll soon know more about him than he does himself”

Maravilloso. 🥲

Que demorado he estado en seguir leyendo a HH. Voy 20 páginas de este libro y ya se que me va a conmover hasta los huesos. 🥲

Honestly, probably not going to finish this at all. This book is a little weird, ngl.

reread!

"Quando mi confrontavo con gli altri ero spesso superbo e pieno di me, ma altrettanto spesso abbattuto. Non riuscivo a partecipare alle gioie e alla vita dei miei coetanei e talvolta mi struggevo in rimproveri e apprensioni ,quasi fossi separato da loro senza speranza e la mia vita fosse conchiusa"

"Non esiste realtà tranne quella che è in noi. Gli uomini vivono per lo piu in un modo così irreale perché prendono per realtà le immagini esterne e non lasciano parlare il loro proprio mondo. In tal maniera si può essere felici, ma quando si viene a sapere l'altra alternativa, non si ha più la scelta di mettersi per la via dei più. Ecco Sinclair, la via dei più è facile, la nostra difficile"

He could’ve saved himself some trouble if he had admitted that he was gay for Demian.

Could’ve saved half of his problems if he had admitted that he was gay for Demian.

Me hace acordar los primeros mocos q me mandaba de pendeja sin que mis viejos se dieran cuenta como me perseguia si se enteraban, pero siempre me salia con la mia yo creo q todos tenemos un max demian de quien aprendimos a ser mas vivos.

Our journey as human beings is, ultimately, finding oneself throughout our lives; knowing how much solitude and despair this may cause, it is necessary for our paths into “becoming”.

This is the main topic of the book, deconstructing an image of how life should be lived based on religion and societal prejudices, and start building our own destiny.

It describes a lot of religious stuff through the eyes of a kid which is growing and learning things about himself and the world around him.
Gives you another perspective of how you see and perceive things.
So far so good!

He (god) is everything that is good, noble, fatherly, beautiful, sublime, and sentimental certainly. But the world consists of other things which are simply ascribed to devil. All this part of the world, a good half, is suppressed and hushed up. Just the same as they praise God as the father of all life, but pass over the whole sex life on which all life depends, and declare it to be sinful and the work of the devil

have to keep reminding myself i’m reading this because of kpop

bruh I started reading a free pdf of this on my phone then switched to my computer and while I was looking for where I left off I was like huh some of this stuff im skimming by I don’t remember. I picked it up again on my phone after my laptop and the same thing happened and it turns out I have been reading two different translations. But completely different details have been added/left out. So like what is real

Vielleicht sind Klassiker nichts für mich… vielleicht komm ich nach 70% irgendwann in den Flow

Herman is sooooo emo!. I am enjoying this, but it is truly Buddhism lite with a sprinkle of psychoanalytic theory. The introduction of the overbearing, all-knowing mother is so obvious. And again, I am surprised by the clear queer vibe. Occasionally, apropos of nothing, Hesse mentions Sinclair finding a girl attractive (he never even speaks to them) to deflect from his clear attraction to boys (Demian and others).

This book got me thinking, wondering why they thought of that. I dig a little into researching to understand the concept of reading this book. Especially, someone who is christian. I'm still not sure yet if this book would affect me but I know for sure that it won't change my belief.
