this vision….

"I HAVE THIS VISION: THAT I WOULD FINALLY COME AND FIND YOU.

SCATTERED PIECES OF DISTANCE WOULD NOT STAND IN MY WAY.

NOT NEEDING WORDS; THE BAREST OF GLIMPSES WOULD SUFFICE FOR YOU AND ME."

~   Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena

I cannot...

"I cannot make you understand.

I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me.

I cannot even explain it to myself."

Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis  

"Voeu d’artifices": Lara Stone by Paolo Roversi for M le Magazine du Monde November 2012

State of rest….

In a certain sense you deny the existence of this world. You explain life as a state of rest, a state of rest in motion.

— Franz Kafka, from The Blue Octavo Notebooks

I never...

I never wish to be easily defined.

I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.

goal….

- "Where are you going?"

- "I don’t know," I said, "just out of here. Out of here, nothing else, it’s the only way I can reach my goal."

- "So, you know your goal?" he asked.

- "Yes," I replied. "I’ve just told you. Out of here — that’s my goal."

— Franz Kafka, from The Departure
