Kafka: ‘It's entirely conceivable that life’s splendour forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It's there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, it will come.’

Lispector, A Breath of Life:

“I write in words that hide others—the true ones. Because the true words cannot be named…

My spectacular and ongoing failure proves that the opposite exists: success. Even if success is not granted me, I’m satisfied to know it exists.”

Kierkegaard: ‘What the world actually admires as sagacity is knowledge of evil – whereas wisdom is knowledge of the good.’

@pallakschh Seems pretty detached from real people.

"'The Castle' by Kafka remains for me today the most beautiful secret in literature."

Literature laureate László Krasznahorkai explains how his introduction to the work of Franz Kafka as a child sparked his interest in literature. He says, "Without Kafka, I would never be a writer."

Have been thinking about this from Adorno’s MM a lot recently - ‘the nullity demonstrated to subjects by the concentration camp is already overtaking the form of subjectivity itself.’

It’s hard to feel that anything in your life matters when human life is being held so cheap.

“In relation to their systems most systematizers are like a man who has built a vast palace while he himself lives nearby in a barn…

Spiritually, a man’s thoughts must be the building in which he lives—otherwise it’s wrong.”

— Kierkegaard (journals, 1846)

[Søren Kierkegaard Club @Kierkegaarddd]

“The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.”

@lydiakauppi This is why Elon came in with an army of teenagers. This is why Trump hires clearly unqualified people.

They do what you say. They don’t ask questions. They don’t think too hard about what they’re doing because they consider the job their big break & don’t want to fuck it up.
