Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world’s phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again. That is why every man’s story is important, eternal, sacred.
— Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend, Writer, Hermann Hesse
每個人不僅僅是他自己;他也代表了世界的不同現象之間,獨一無二的、非常特別的、永遠重要且有意義的交匯點,這種方式的交匯只有一次,不會再發生。這就是為什么每個人的故事都是重要的,永恒的,神圣的。
——《德米安:埃米爾·辛克萊的彷徨少年時》赫爾曼·黑塞,作家
