People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.

Hermann Hesse

You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.




Franz Kafka

All knowledge, the totality of all questions and all answers is contained in the dog.




Franz Kafka

All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience.




Johan Wolfang von Goethe

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden.

Johan Wolfgang von Goethe
