"I love this small collection of very short reveries and watercolors that Hesse wrote and drew while hiking through the countryside. Some of them are very personal. One of my favorites lines is: Anyone who says no to himself cannot say yes to God. You get to know the person behind the novels. Very thoughtful pieces."
"I have seen quotes from this book over the years and it was good to finally get a copy of the source and read all of Hess' thoughts. Hess has a through understanding of the dilemma one faces in the modern world when one has a strong nomadic urge. Our modern world has a tendency to reward those that stay put so a nomadic is always in a struggle between their true nature and what the society wants them to do. Hess understands this as only one that has the problem can understand and documents it eloquently in this book. There is also one chapter about depression and can only have been written by one who has been there."
