37. Language doesn't get any more beautiful than this:
Jeder Mensch ist nicht nur selber, er ist auch der einmalige, ganz besondere, in jedem Fall wichtige und merkwüdige Punkt, wo die Erscheinungen der Welt sich kreuzen, nur einmal so und nie wieder. Darum ist jedes Menschen Geschichte wichtig, ewig, göttlich, darum ist jeder Mensch, solonge er irgend lebt und Willen der Nature erfüllt, wunderbar and jeder Aufmerksamkeit würtig. In jedem ist der Geist Gestalt geworden, in jedem leidet die Kreatur, in jedem wird ein Erlöser gekreuzigt...

Translation (mine):

No human being is merely a self; each is also the singular, completely independent, in every way essential and remarkable point at which views of the universe intersect, as such just once, never to be repeated. In this way, is the tale of every soul important, eternal, godly; in this way, so long as one actually lives and so fulfills the will of Nature, is the tale of every soul wondrous and worthy of all attention. In each, is a form of the Spirit molded; in each, is the Creator suffering; in each, is a Savior who is crucified.

-Herman Hesse, Demian
