One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die.

It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.

A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us


Franz Kafka
