Quote by Hermann Hesse
English (Source)
For me, trees have always been the most authentic teachers. I greatly appreciate the trees of forests and groves that live in tribal and family bonds. But I have even more respect for those who stand alone. They are like a lonely person. Not like hermits who retreat from the world out of weakness, but like spiritual giants who live in retreat, like Beethoven or Nietzsche. The world trembles at the tip of their branches, their roots rest in infinity; but they don't get involved, but fight with all their vitality for one thing: to complete themselves according to their own laws, to shape their image, to show what they are.
