“He is terribly afraid of dying because he hasn’t yet lived.”
― Franz Kafka

“It was necessary for him to have hope. So he built hope, desperately and tenaciously out of the stuff of his dream, a hope flimsy enough, to be sure, a hope that was cracked and dissipated a dozen times a day, a hope mothered by mockery, but, nevertheless, a hope that would be brawn and sinew to his self-respect.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“The man had had the hardest blow of his life. He knew at last what he wanted, but in finding it out it seemed that he had put it for ever beyond his grasp.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

“In a wild panic he slammed down the receiver; collapsed into his armchair in the cold sweat of breathless relief.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned
