Five Women Quotes

“How little one knows what one knows, or wants what one wants.”
― Robert Musil, Five Women

“The fact was that belief in them had to be there before they themselves could be there; if one did not look at the world with the world's eyes, the world already in one's own gaze, it fell apart into meaningless details that live as sadly far apart from each other as the stars in the night-sky.”
― Robert Musil, Tonka and Other Stories
