헤르만헤세의 20가지 영어명언ㅣ인생명언, Hermann Hesse Quotes
헤르만헤세는 제가 어릴 때부터 고민거리가 있을 때 찾아 읽었던 삶의 나침반 같은 작가입니다.
독일의 시인이자 소설가, 화가인 헤르만헤세(Hermann Hesse, 1877-1962)는 명성에 걸맞게 사람의 마음을 움직이는 수많은 명언을 남겼습니다. 개신교 선교사의 집안에서 태어나 헤세 역시 신학교에 들어갔지만 뛰쳐나옵니다. 지독하게 예민한 헤세의 성정과 신경쇠약은 헤세가 삶의 대부분의 시간을 심리적인 어려움 속에 살아가게 했습니다.
"시인이 되지 않으면 그 무엇도 되지 않겠다." 자살시도까지 하며 살고자 몸부림치던 헤세의 간절함이 그를 결국 시인으로 만들었습니다. 생의 고통을 자양분삼아 그림을 그리고 글을 써 내려간 헤세의 주옥같은 영어명언 중 20개를 뽑아서 소개해보겠습니다.

2. Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.

4. There are many ways in which the god can make us lonely and lead us to ourselves.

6. The opposite of every truth is just as true.
7. The true profession of a man is to find his way to himself.
8. You must find your dream, then the way becomes easy.
9. Within you there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.
10. If man has nothing to eat, fasting is the most intelligent thing he can do.
11. Not in his speech, not in his thoughts, I see his greatness, only in his actions, in his life.
12. Painting is marvelous; it makes you happier and more patient. Afterward, you do not have black fingers as with writing, but blue and red ones.
13. Happiness is a how, not a what: a talent, not an object.
14. Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.
15. Oh, love isn’t there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure.
16. I have always been a great dreamer. In dreams I have always been more active than in my real life, and these shadows sapped me of my health and energy.
17. If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn’t part of ourselves doesn’t disturb us.
18. Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest.
19. In each individual the spirit is made flesh, in each one the whole of creation suffers, in each one a Savior is crucified.
20. Our mind is capable of passing beyond the dividing line we have drawn for it. Beyond the pairs of opposites of which the world consists, other, new insights begin.
