Brother Quote by Hermann Hesse

“That is why we were drawn to one another and why we are brother and sister. I am going to teach you to dance and play and smile, and still not be happy. And you are going to teach me to think and to know and yet not be happy. Do you know that we are both children of the Devil?” quote by Hermann Hesse — Download Open image
