Favorite quotes: "You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply 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

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
