The Benefits of Vegetarianism • Sadegh Hedayat“"For some reason, the tall, empty room where he was forced to remain made him feel uneasy as he lay there flat on the floor, even though he had been living in it for five years."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“this second, violent world gushed out fragrantly everywhere, except in our rooms, where Mother and Father were. And that was very good.
