    Franz Kafka
    “I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”
    Franz Kafka

    Franz Kafka

  • #14
    Franz Kafka
    “I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones. Basically it is nothing other than this fear we have so often talked about, but fear spread to everything, fear of the greatest as of the smallest, fear, paralyzing fear of pronouncing a word, although this fear may not only be fear but also a longing for something greater than all that is fearful.”
    Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

    Franz Kafka
    “This tremendous world I have inside of me. How to free myself, and this world, without tearing myself to pieces. And rather tear myself to a thousand pieces than be buried with this world within me.”
    Kafka Franz, Diaries, 1910-1923

    Franz Kafka
    “One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one willl only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: "This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me.”
    Franz Kafka, The Blue Octavo Notebooks

  • #17
    Franz Kafka
    “April 27. Incapable of living with people, of speaking. Complete immersion in myself, thinking of myself. Apathetic, witless, fearful. I have nothing to say to anyone - never.”

    Franz Kafka
    “My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication--it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness--it is all that I have--and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well.”
    Franz Kafka

    “Love is like a fart. It's warm, unpredictable. And sometimes it stinks, but it can also be the best feeling in the world. That's why I'm so happy that I passed you that day. I know now...I fart you”
    Ryan Higa

    “The weak breeze whispers nothing
    the water screams sublime.
    His feet shift, teeter-totter
    deep breaths, stand back, it’s time.

    Toes untouch the overpass
    soon he’s water-bound.
    Eyes locked shut but peek to see
    the view from halfway down.

    A little wind, a summer sun
    a river rich and regal.
    A flood of fond endorphins
    brings a calm that knows no equal.

    You’re flying now, you see things
    much more clear than from the ground.
    It's all okay, or it would be
    were you not now halfway down.

    Thrash to break from gravity
    what now could slow the drop?
    All I’d give for toes to touch
    the safety back at top.

    But this is it, the deed is done
    silence drowns the sound.
    Before I leaped I should've seen
    the view from halfway down.

    I really should’ve thought about
    the view from halfway down.
    I wish I could've known about
    the view from halfway down—”
    Raphael Bob-Waksberg, BoJack Horseman: The Art Before the Horse
