Quotes 94: Franz Kafka
"You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet."
–– Franz Kafka (1883-1924), Bohemian-born writer
via Book of Commonplace 2004-2005, p. 86
