“But the worst of it is that it is just this contentment that I cannot endure,
THE STEPPENWOLF SOUL
“After a short time it fills me with irrepressible hatred and nausea. In desperation I have to escape and throw myself on the road of pleasure, or, if that cannot be, on the road of pain. When I have neither pleasure nor pain and have been breathing for a while the lukewarm insipid air of these so-called good and tolerable days, I feel so bad in my childish soul that I smash my moldering lyre of thanksgiving in the face of the slumbering god of contentment….” ~Hermann Hesse, STEPPENWOLF
