“I have had to experience so much stupidity, so many vices, so much error, so much nausea, disillusionment and sorrow, just in order to become a child again and begin anew. I had to experience despair, I had to sink to the greatest mental depths, to thoughts of suicide, in order to experience grace.”

(He tenido que experimentar tanta estupidez, tantos vicios, tanto error, tanta nausea, desilusión y pena, solamente para convertirme en un niño otra vez y empezar de nuevo. He tenido que sentir desesperación, hundirme en las inmensas profundidades de la mente, hasta los pensamientos de suicidio, para poder experimentar la gracia.)

Hermann Hesse (1877- 1962)  Escritor, poeta, novelista y pintor alemán.
