Quote by Hermann Hesse

His way had therefore come full circle, or rather had taken the form of an ellipse or a spiral, following as ever no straight unbroken line, for the rectilinear belongs only to Geometry and not to Nature and Life.


His way had therefore come full circle, or rather had taken

Summary

This quote suggests that the individual, referred to as "he," has come full circle in his journey or experience. However, his path does not resemble a straight line but rather an ellipse or spiral. The quote implies that life and nature are not always linear, orderly, or predictable like geometry, but rather complex and dynamic. It highlights the idea that our journeys and developments often entail meandering and unpredictable paths, reflecting the inherent nature of life itself.
