“It's senseless to ask, considering this letter won't arrive for 14 days, but maybe this will only be a small addition to the general senselessness of my request: do not let yourself be scared away from me --- if it is at all possible in this unsteady world (where, when one is torn away, one is simply torn away and can't do anything about it) --- even if I disappoint you once or a thousand times or right now or perhaps always right now.

― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena
