His best novel, I think.

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, comformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

He never spoke a meaningless word. Everything that came from him came in a way that became less and less forced as the years went on, a precious expression of his quite special way of looking at things — patient, life-loving, ironically considerate towards the follies of the world and, therefore, full of sad humour.

— Max Brod on Kafka

"Socializing is as exhausting as giving blood. People assume we loners are misanthropes, just ­sitting thinking, ‘Oh, people are such a bunch of assholes,’ but it’s really not like that. We just have a smaller tolerance for what it takes to be with others. It means having to perform. I get so tired of communicating."

I like to buy vintage books, and I like them even more when I find writing inside.
