Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience. A rustling in the leaves drives him away.
From Walter Benjamin
Counsel woven into the fabric of real life is wisdom.
To be happy is to be able to become aware of oneself without fright.
The only way of knowing a person is to love them without hope.
The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of truth, wisdom, is dying out.
The destructive character lives from the feeling, not that life is worth living, but that suicide is not worth the trouble.
Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method. Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like.
All disgust is originally disgust at touching.
All human knowledge takes the form of interpretation.
The true picture of the past flits by. The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again.
