““I wanted to excel in your eyes, show my strength of will, wait before writing you, first finish a document, but the room is empty, no one is minding me – it’s as if someone said: leave him alone, can’t you see how engrossed he is in his own affairs, it’s as if he had a fist in his mouth. So I only wrote half a page and am once again with you, lying on this letter like I lay next to you back then in the forest.” (16 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“My guiding star always is, Get hold of portable property.”
Great Expectations • Charles Dickens“I often ardently perceived a longing for relief, the desire for a proper confession, but I also felt in advance that I would be unable to tell and explain things correctly to either my father or mother. I knew that they would receive my words amicably, they would carefully spare my feelings, in fact, pity me, but they wouldn’t fully understand me, and the whole thing would be looked on as a sort of minor infraction, whereas it was actually my fate.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“The heart is able to bury deep and well what is urgently desires to forget.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
