| 2e2b48d | It's my side. I have found the pain. It is in my side, and I isolate it and define it, and arrange the other pains around it. I tell myself that pain is information, that I am learning to map the spaces of my own body. Then my body's feelings cascade toward my side, and pain pours over its outlines and erases them. ("Marriage")" | William S. Wilson | ||
| c86f9d7 | I was making for that city in the south of which it was said in our village: "There you'll find queer folk! Just think, they never sleep!" "And why not?" "Because they never get tired." "And why not?" "Because they're fools." "Don't fools get tired?" "How could fools get tired!"---Children on a Country Road, Contemplation." | Franz Kafka | ||
| 3cfa5ea | He accepted it as a fundamental principle for an accused man to be always forearmed, never to let himself be caught napping, never to let his eyes stray unthinkingly to the right when his judge was looming up on the left--to the right when his judge was looming up on the left--and against that very principle he kept offending again and again. | Franz Kafka | ||

| c159b99 | Nao temos juventude, ficamos logo adultos, e continuamos entao adultos por um tempo demasiadamente longo, vem dai um certo cansaco e uma certa desesperanca que atravessa com um vinco largo a essencia no conjunto tao tenaz e cheia de esperanca do nosso povo | Franz Kafka | ||
| e0811a5 | Oh, bother. | Franz Kafka | ||
| b7b0463 | Today, and let us celebrate this fact, We can eat the light of our beloved, warmed by compassion or cooled by intellectual feeling. And if we are surprised, and some of us disappointed, that the light is now only green - well, such was the vital probability awaiting us. We have, after all, an increase in the energy available for further evolution; we can use the energy of our position relative to the probabilities in the future to reach the.. | green light | William S.

| 839831d | His wounds, incidentally, must have healed up by now, he felt no handicap anymore, which was astonishing; for, as recalled, after he had nicked his finger with a knife over a month ago, the injury had still been hurting the day before yesterday. "Am I less sensitive now?" he wondered, greedily sucking at the cheese, which had promptly exerted a more emphatic attraction on him than any of the other food. His eyes watered with contentment as .. | Franz Kafka | ||
| e1b82a5 | All he wanted to do now was to get up quietly and undisturbed, get dressed, and, most important, eat breakfast, and only then consider what to do next, because, as he was well aware, in bed he could never think of anything through to a reasonable conclusion. | Franz Kafka | ||
| dbaba89 | calm consideration was much better than rushing to desperate conclusions. | Franz Kafka | ||
| ffd45e0 | First of all, I am delighted that you are a vegetarian at heart. I don't like strict vegetarians all that much, because I too am almost a vegetarian, and see nothing particularly likable about it, just something natural, and those who are good vegetarians in their hearts, but, for reasons of health, from indifference, or simply because they underrate food as such, eat meat or whatever happens to be on the table, casually, with their left ha.. | Franz Kafka | ||
| cf57323 | Lo raro es que, cuando uno se despierta por la manana, por lo menos en lineas generales vuelve a encontrar las cosas en el mismo estado en que estaban por la noche.

| 7dbb073 | Svijetla kosa i tamna kosa, to su dva pola ljudskog karaktera. Tamna kosa znaci muzevnost, odvaznost, otvorenost i poduzetnost, dok je svijetla kosa simbol zenstvenosti, njeznosti, bespomocnosti i pasivnosti. Plavusa je, prema tome, dvostruka zena. Princeza mora biti plavokosa. Zato zene, da bi bile zenstvenije, boje kosu u zuto, a nikad u crno. | Milan Kundera | ||
