You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love.
Do you realize that people don't know how to read Kafka simply because they want to decipher him? Instead of letting themselves be carried away by his unequaled imagination, they look for allegories — and come up with nothing but clichés: life is absurd (or it is not absurd), God is beyond reach (or within reach), etc. You can understand nothing about art, particularly modern art, if you do not understand that imagination is a value in itself.

I have spent all my life resisting the desire to end it.
Having a trial like that means losing a trial like that (Sufrir un proceso es casi haberlo perdido)
