Words
are evil's strongest buttress.
They are
the most reliable preservatives
of
every passion and stupidity.
*
One only pretends
to be enjoying oneself,
stuffing up one's ears
with the wax
of pleasure.
*
I simulate gaiety
in order to
vanish behind it.
*
A man is only
fully aware of himself
when he is
either in love
or
danger of death.
*
We live in
a morass of
corroding lies
and illusions,
in which
terrible and monstrous
things happen
which journalists report
with amused objectivity
and
—without anyone noticing—
trample on the lives
of a million people
as if they were
worthless insects
[Gregor Samsa Society?]
