Suffering is the positive element in this world, indeed it is the only link between this world and the positive.
Franz KafkaThere are some things one can only achieve by a deliberate leap in the opposite direction.
Franz KafkaI hate everything that does not relate to literature, conversations bore me (even if they relate to literature), to visit people bores me, the sorrows and joys of my relatives bore me to the very soul. Conversation takes the importance, the seriousness, the truth, out of everything I think.
