“that's just it, said Frieda that's what i am talking about, that's just what makes me so miserable, what's keeping me from you, when i know of no greater bliss for myself than to be with you, forever, without interruption, without end, when I dream, I really do, that there is no quit place here on earth for our love, not in the village and not anywhere else, so I picture a grave, deep and narrow, in which we embrace as if clamped together, I bury my face against you, you yours against me, and no one will see us again.”
― Franz Kafka, The Castle

“For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves .... A hierarchical society was only possible on basis of poverty and ignorance”
