“Yes, the wardrobe. It will probably be the object of our first and last fight. I'll say: 'Let's throw it out.' You'll say: 'It must stay.' I'll say: 'Choose between it and me.' You'll say: 'At once. Frank and Schrank, they rhyme. I choose the wardrobe.' 'Good,' I'll say, and slowly descend the stairs (which?) and - if I haven't found the Danube canal, I'll still be alive today.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“Calling things by their true names cuts through the lies that excuse, buffer, muddle, disguise, avoid, or encourage inaction, indifference, obliviousness.”
― Rebecca Solnit

“Either the world is so tiny or we are so enormous, in any case we fill it completely.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“Happiness was never important. The problem is that we don't know what we really want. What makes us happy is not to get what we want. But to dream about it. Happiness is for opportunists. So I think that the only life of deep satisfaction is a life of eternal struggle, especially struggle with oneself. If you want to remain happy, just remain stupid. Authentic masters are never happy; happiness is a category of slaves.”
― Slavoj Žižek
