Quote by Hermann Hesse

Meaning and reality were not hidden somewhere behind things, they were in them, in all of them.

Meaning and reality were not hidden somewhere behind things,

Summary

This quote suggests that the true essence and significance of meaning and reality are not separate from the things we perceive. Rather, they are inherently present within the objects and experiences surrounding us. It implies that we need to look beyond the surface appearances of things and delve deeper to recognize the inherent meaning and reality within every aspect of existence. In essence, meaning and reality are not external or elusive concepts, but deeply intertwined within the fabric of our surroundings.

Talent is able to achieve what is beyond other people's capacity to achieve, yet not what is beyond their capacity of apprehension; therefore it at once finds its appreciators. The achievement of genius, on the other hand, transcends not only others' capacity of achievement, but also their capacity of apprehension; therefore they do not become immediately aware of it. Talent is like the marksman who hits a target which others cannot reach; genius is like the marksman who hits a target, as far as which others cannot even see.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more, Or close the wall up with our English dead In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.

Change is healthy and useful. It has to be fought for most of the time. It's not inevitable. It takes real leadership and real effort.
