Quote by Hermann Hesse

Voll BlÃ¼ten steht der Pfirsichbaum nicht jede wÃ¤chst zur Frucht sie schimmern hell wie Rosenschaum durch Blau und Wolkenflucht. Wie BlÃ¼ten geh'n Gedanken auf hundert an jedem Tag -- lass' blÃ¼hen, lass' dem Ding den Lauf frag' nicht nach dem Ertrag! Es muss auch Spiel und Unschuld sein und BlÃ¼tenÃ¼berfluss sonst wÃ¤r' die Welt uns viel zu klein und Leben kein Genuss.

Voll BlÃ¼ten steht der Pfirsichbaum nicht jede wÃ¤chst zur F

This quote uses the imagery of a peach tree in full blossom to symbolize the abundance and variety of thoughts that arise in our minds every day.

It emphasizes the importance of playfulness, innocence, and the abundance of ideas to make life enjoyable and the world feel expansive.

My conception of the audience is of a public each member of which is carrying about with him what he thinks is an anxiety, or a hope, or a preoccupation which is his alone and isolates him from mankind; and in this respect at least the function of a play is to reveal him to himself so that he may touch others by virtue of the revelation of his mutuality with them. If only for this reason I regard the theater as a serious business, one that makes or should make man more human, which is to say, less alone.

By his machines man can dive and remain under water like a shark; can fly like a hawk in the air; can see atoms like a gnat; can see the system of the universe of Uriel, the angel of the sun; can carry whatever loads a ton of coal can lift; can knock down cities with his fist of gunpowder; can recover the history of his race by the medals which the deluge, and every creature, civil or savage or brute, has involuntarily dropped of its existence; and divine the future possibility of the planet and its inhabitants by his perception of laws of nature.
