“When I first met you, I felt a kind of contradiction in you. You’re seeking something, but at the same time, you are running away for all you’re worth.”
—Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
“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.”
—Franz Kafka, diary entry (23 March 1914)
“One reads books and expects life to be just as full of interest and intensity. And, of course, it isn’t so.”
—Anaïs Nin, Henry and June
