“no one else has ever taken my side as knowingly and willingly as you, despite everything, despite everything”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

“In order to gain something, you have to lose something,” she always said. People are always trying to get something for nothing. But that’s just theft. If you’ve gained something, it means that someone, somewhere, has lost something. Even happiness is built on someone else’s misfortune. She often reminded me of this. In fact, she considered it one of the laws of the universe.”
― Genki Kawamura, If Cats Disappeared from the World

“Love has to end. That’s all. And even though everyone knows it they still fall in love. I guess it’s the same with life. We all know it has to end someday, but even so we act as if we’re going to live forever. Like love, life is beautiful because it has to end.”
― Genki Kawamura, If Cats Disappeared from the World

“Yesterday I advised you not to write me every day, I still hold the same opinion today and it would be very good for both of us, and so I repeat my advice today even more emphatically - only please, Milena, don't listen to me, and write me every day anyway”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena
