I forgot the quotation.

I am trying to track down a Herman Hesse quotation which I believe is from The Glass Bead Game. I wonder if anyone can help by either confirming this view or else suggesting an alternative. Many thanks.

"To study history one must know in advance that one is attempting something
fundamentally impossible, yet necessary and highly important. To study history
means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.
It is a very serious task, young man, and possibly a tragic one."

it is from the glass bead game, from Father Jacobus to Joseph
