“The long fingers of his big hands closed. He felt that he wanted, more than anything in the world, to carve delicately with a chisel. He wanted to wreak something dark and unspeakable in him into cold stone. He wanted to carve an angel's head.”

“it is precisely in this continuous process of confession and forgiveness that we are liberated from our isolation and encounter the possibility of a new disarmed way of living.

Doll, so ein Menschenthorax, der keiner mehr ist. Weichteil, wissen Sie, unkleidsam, leichte Trübung der Idee, sozusagen. Na, und Sie? Was macht die werte Befindität? Ist wohl ein fidelerer Lebenswandel zu zweien, was, Ziemßen, alter Schlauberger? Warum weinen Sie denn, Sie Vergnügungsreisender?", wandte er sich auf einmal an Hans Castorp. "Öffentliches Weinen ist hier nicht erlaubt. Hausordnungsverbot. Da könnte jeder kommen.”
