QUOTE OF THE DAY II: "To start announcing your own preferences for old values when your
world is collapsing and everything is changing at a furious pitch: this
is not the act of a serious person. It is frivolous, fatuous. If you
were to knock on the door of one of these critics and say 'Sir, there
are flames leaping out of your roof, your house is burning,' under these
conditions he would then say to you, 'That’s a very interesting point
of view. Personally, I couldn’t disagree with you more.' That’s all these critics are saying. Their house is burning and
they’re saying, 'Don’t you have any sense of values, simply telling
people about fire when you should be thinking about the serious content,
the noble works of the mind?'"
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Last night I dreamed about you. What happened in detail I can hardly remember, all I know is that we kept merging into one another. I was you, you were me. Finally you somehow caught fire." — Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena Jesenská.
