There is a puzzling quotation that opens Herman Hesse's early novel, Demian: I wanted only to live in accord with the promptings of my true self. Why was that so very difficult?

Hey, you've left footprints on my soul; I never said that you could do that. I feel that my love was taken in vain. I don't particularly like that. I do have values, you know. I would appreciate the respect and kindness that is usually offered to another human being. I bitterly regret the confrontation that I had earlier but, I guess it all comes down to one thing; live and learn.
