“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”

“Books are a narcotic”

“I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.”

“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.”

“You are free and that is why you are lost”

“The meaning of life is that it stops”

“Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.”

“Evil is whatever distracts.”

“My ''fear''... is my substance, and probably the best part of me.”

-quotes by Franz Kafka
