«17 October. There may be a purpose lurking behind the fact that I never learned anything useful and —the two are connected— have allowed myself to become a physical wreck. I did not want to be distracted, did not want to be distracted by the pleasures life has to give a useful and healthy man. As if illness and despair were not just as much of a distraction!»

«27 June. A new diary, really only because I have been reading the old ones. A number of reasons and intentions, now, at a quarter to twelve, impossible to ascertain.»

«19 June. Forget everything. Open the windows. Clear the room. The wind blows through it. You see only its emptiness, you search in every corner and don't find yourself.

«15 August. Wasted day. Spent sleeping and lying down. (…) Again read old diaries instead of keeping away from them. I live as irrationally as is at all possible. (…) Even more to blame, of course, is my weakness, which permits a thing of this sort to influence me.»

«Read through some old notebooks. It takes all my strength to last it out. The unhappiness one must suffer when one interrupts oneself in a task that can never succeed except all at once, and this is what has always happened to me until now; in rereading one must re-experience this unhappiness in a more concentrated way though not as strongly as before.»
