Thomas’s Quotes

“was die Schriftsteller schreiben
ist nichts gegen die Wirklichkeit
die Wirklichkeit ist so schlimm
dass sie nicht beschrieben werden kann
noch kein Schriftsteller hat die Wirklichkeit so beschrieben
wie sie wirklich ist
das ist das Fürchterliche”
― Thomas Bernhard

“There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always like a sketch. No, "sketch" is not quite a word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch for nothing, an outline with no picture.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
