“What you call passion is not a spiritual force, but friction between the soul and the outside world. Where passion dominates, that does not signify the presence of greater desire and ambition, but rather the misdirection of these qualities toward and isolated and false goal, with a consequent tension and sultriness in the atmosphere. Those who direct the maximum force of their desires toward the center, toward true being, toward perfection, seem quieter than the passionate souls because the flame of their fervor cannot always be seen. In argument, for example, they will not shout or wave their arms. But, I assure you, they are nevertheless, burning with subdued fires.”

Hermann Hesse, The Glass Bead Game

„Was du Leidenschaft nennst, ist nicht Seelenkraft, sondern Reibung, zwischen Seele und Aussenwelt. Es ist dort, wo die Leidenschaftlichkeit herrscht, nicht ein Plus an Kraft des Begehrens und Strebens vorhanden, sondern sie ist auf ein vereinzeltes und falsches Ziel gerichtet, daher die Spannung und Schwüle in der Atmosphäre. Wer die höchste Kraft des Begehrens ins Zentrum richtet, gegen das wahre Sein hin, gegen das Vollkommene, der scheint ruhiger als der Leidenschaftliche, weil man die Flamme seiner Glut nicht immer sieht, weil er zum Beispiel beim Disputieren nicht schreit und mit den Armen fuchtelt. Aber ich sage dir: Er muss glühen und brennen!“

Hermann Hesse, Das Glasperlenspiel
