Hermann Hesse Quote
It was wonderful to be living in a house in a reign of peace, order, tranquility, duty and good conscience, forgiveness and love—but it was no less wonderful to know there was the other, the loud and shrill, sullen and violent world from which you could dart back to your mother in one leap.
