Deeply, he felt the love for the run-away in his heart, like a wound, and he felt at the same time that this wound had not been given to him in order to turn the knife in it, that it had to become a blossom and had to shine. that this wound did not blossom yet, did not shine yet, at this hour, made him sad. instead of the desired goal, which had drawn him here following the runaway son, there was now emptiness.

More From Hermann Hesse

Yes, i am sad, sad as a circus-lioness, sad as an eagle without wings, sad as a violin with only one string and that one broken, sad as a woman who is growing old. sad, sad, sad.
Wings Eagles Broken
'emptiness' means empty of a separate self. it is full of everything, full of life. the word emptiness should not scare us. it is a wonderful word. to be empty does not mean non-existent. emptiness is the ground of everything. thanks to emptiness, everything is possible.
Mean Self Scare
You yourself create all your misery, hour after hour, day after day. you think the goal justifies the means, even the vile means. you are wrong: the goal is in the path on which you arrive at it. every step of today is your life of tomorrow. no great goal can be reached by vile means. that you have proven in every social revolution. the vileness or inhumanity of the path to the goal makes you vile or inhuman, and the goal unattainable.
Mean Thinking Goal
I went away and cried to the master of the universe, "what have you done to me? a mind like this i need for a son? a heart i need for a son, a soul i need for a son, compassion i want from my son, righteousness, mercy, strength to suffer and carry pain, that i want from my son, not a mind without a soul!"
Pain Heart Son
I can't turn around without hearing about some 'civil rights advance's white people seem to think the black man ought to be shouting 'hallelujah's four hundred years the white man has had his foot-long knife in the black man's back — and now the white man starts to wiggle the knife out, maybe six inches! the black man's supposed to be grateful? why, if the white man jerked the knife out, it's still going to leave a scar!
Grateful Men Thinking
Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound. and the wound is nearly always given by his father.

Similar Quotes
Your god loves your people and hates mine; he folds his strong arms lovingly around the white man and leads him as a father leads his infant son, but he has forsaken his red children; he makes your people wax strong every day, and soon they will fill the land; while my people are ebbing away like a fast-receding tide, that will never flow again. the white man's god cannot love his red children or he would protect them. they seem to be orphans who can look nowhere for help.
Strong Children Father
When i look at myself as a younger actor, i see what a tight ass i was. i had a pretty big shadow because of my father and the comparisons. i was self-conscious about that. now i realize there was nothing to be worried about.
Success Father Self
I mean, i look at my dad. he was twenty when he started having a family, and he was always the coolest dad. he did everything for his kids, and he never made us feel like he was pressured. i know that it must be a great feeling to be a guy like that.
Family Fathers Day Dad
In families there is always the mythology. my father died when my kids were quite young still, and yet they still tell his stories. that is how a person lives on.
