“I've never done anything but dream. This, and this alone, has been the meaning of my life. My only real concern has been my inner life.”

“We worship perfection because we can't have it; if we had it, we would reject it. Perfection is inhuman, because humanity is imperfect.”

“I’ve dreamed a lot. I’m tired now from dreaming but not tired of dreaming. No one tires of dreaming, because to dream is to forget, and forgetting does not weigh on us, it is a dreamless sleep throughout which we remain awake. In dreams I have achieved everything.”

- Franz Kafka

Screw it
I always forget that this is my diary
So I'm gonna spam you again

Rashoumon is what I really need
I need the book

Anyway, here are my favourite quotes from "the life of a stupid man" (my all-time favourite book)

I can't tell you what I don't know.

It's scary what greed can do to people.

What I saw shining there was neither anger nor sorrow.
It was the cold flash of contempt - contempt for me.

Drifting somewhere between dream and reality.

I lay there wrapped in a deep silence.

I sank once and for all into the darkness between lives.

That face of hers, for some reason, was always ashen and lifeless.

I often feel as if there is a fortyish woman somewhere - a phantom - watching over my life.
Might it be the work of some supernatural power giving occasional glimpses of itself to the real world?
