Image
But eternity is not temporality at a standstill. What is oppressive about the concept of the eternal is the justification, incomprehensible to us, that time must undergo in eternity and the logical conclusion of that, the justification of ourselves as we are.
Franz Kafka

He who does not answer the questions has passed the test.

May I kiss you then? On this miserable paper? I might as well open the window and kiss the night air.
