“This one is particularly beautiful and profound, straight from the heart. When I first read it, I loved the fact that he needs solitude and time to think about Milena, but then when I read it the second time, something else struck me: when he says his office job is boring, his flat is stupid, but he feels he must not complain about his everyday reality because Milena is part of it too, and the gratefulness he feels for that: this moment which belongs to you:”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“″‘And if there were a contest, and he had to compete in measuring the shadows with the prisoners who had never moved out of the den, while his sight was still weak, and before his eyes had become steady (and the time which would be needed to acquire this new habit of sight might be very considerable), would he not be ridiculous? Men would say of him that up he went and down he came without his eyes; and that it was better not even to think of ascending; and if any one tried to loose another and lead him up to the light, let them only catch the offender, and they would put him to death.’ ‘No question,’ he said.””
Republic • Plato“Therefore each of us must discover for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden—forbidden to him.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“What terrible tragedies realism inflicts on people.'”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“What does the brain matter compared with the heart?”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf
