I also believe that few people remain completely untouched by the thought that instead of the life they lead there might also be another, where all actions proceed from a very personal state of excitement. Where actions have meanings, not just causes. And where a person, to use a trivial word, is happy, and not just nervously tormenting himself.
Robert MusilEvery word wants to be taken literally, else it decays into a lie. But one mustn't take any word literally, else the world becomes a madhouse.
