The meaning of life is that it stops. - Franz Kafka

"The Kafka paradox: art depends on truth, but truth, being indivisable, cannot know itself: to tell the truth is to lie. thus the writer is the truth, and yet when he speaks he lies."

"A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us."

"Writer speaks a stench."

"Books are a narcotic."

"Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself."
