A lawyer is a person who writes a 10,000-word document and calls it a "brief."

Writer speaks a stench.

Do not waste your time looking for an obstacle - maybe there is none.

Human judgment of human actions is true and void , that is to say, first true and then void.... The judgment of the word is true, the judgment in itself is void.... Only he who is a party can really judge, but as a party he cannot judge. Hence it follows that there is no possibility of judgment in the world, only a glimmer of it.

If this is what you came for, then I didn't send for you. Kafka (note to himself in journal)

Time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy, and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible, then one must try to wriggle through by subtle manoeuvres.
