"Virtually overnight, the tiny town of Plainfield -- formally so obscure that even most wisconsinites were unaware of its existence -- gained nationwide notoriety. Newspaper reporters, television and radio crews, and correspondence for national news magazines invaded the streets seeking out interviews with anyone who had information about the man the press had already dubbed the "Mad Butcher of Plainfield." -- HS" Feb 20, 2026 06:49AM

Haruki Murakami
“For instance, supposing that the planet earth were not a sphere but a gigantic coffee table, how much difference in everyday life would that make?”
Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

Franz Kafka
“Poseidon sat at his desk, doing figures. The administration of all the waters gave him endless work. [...] It cannot be said that he enjoyed his work; he did it only because it had been assigned to him; in fact, he had already filed many petitions for--as he put it--more cheerful work, but every time the offer of something different was made to him it turned out that nothing suited him quite as well as his present position.”
Franz Kafka, Parables and Paradoxes

Franz Kafka
“He asked me several things, but I couldn't answer, indeed I didn't even understand his questions. So I said: "Perhaps you are sorry now that you invited me, so I'd better go," and I was about to get up. But he stretched his hand out over the table and pressed me down. "Stay," he said, "that was only a test. He who does not answer the questions has passed the test.”
Franz Kafka, Parables and Paradoxes

Franz Kafka
“I ran past the first watchman. Then I was horrified, ran back and said to the watchman: "I ran through here while you were looking the other way." The watchman gazed ahead of him and said nothing. "I suppose I really oughtn't to have done it," I said. The watchman still said nothing. "Does your silence indicate permission to pass?”
Franz Kafka, Parables and Paradoxes

Franz Kafka
“And perhaps he had made no mistake at all, his name really was called, it having been the teacher's intention to make the rewarding of the best student at the same time a punishment for the worst one.”
Franz Kafka, Parables and Paradoxes
