Kafka

Guess what? I have the same birthday as Franz Kafka! and exactly 100 years ang difference ng age namin! COOLNESS! Maybe I should start reading his books! hehehe, connect. (ang daming exclamation marks. hehehe. obvious bang natuwa ako sa discovery ko?) =)

"the works of Kafka have been recognized as symbolizing modern man's anxiety-ridden and grotesque alienation in an unintelligible, hostile, or indifferent world." -- hmmm. seems interesting. mahanap nga si Kafka. hehehe.

Some quotes:

This little woman, then, is ill-pleased with me, she always finds something objectionable in me. I am always doing the wrong thing to her. I annoy her at every step; if life could be cut into the smallest of small pieces and every scrap of it could be separately assessed, every scrap of my life would certainly be an offense to her.

Wisdom is thus not what men first of all seek. They seek, instead, the justification for what they happen to cherish.

The tremendous world I have inside my head. But how free myself and free it without being torn to pieces. And a thousand times rather be torn to pieces than retain it in me or bury it. That, indeed, is why I am here, that is quite clear to me.

It is the thousandth forgetting of a dream dreamt a thousand times and forgotten a thousand times, and who can damn us merely for forgetting for the thousandth time?

And coincidentally, Milan Kundera, the author of my favorite favorite favorite book The Unbearable Lightness of Being(second only to The Little Prince), also had some influences from Kafka. Hanep!
