Many works of the ancients have become fragments. Many works of the moderns are fragments at the time of their origin.
Works
Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.
Satan works through human agents.
I’m afraid for all those who’ll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!
But if I were to say who influenced me most, then I’d say Franz Kafka. And his works were always anchored in the Central European region.
Newspapers are the second hand of history. This hand, however, is usually not only of inferior metal to the other hands, it also seldom works properly.

Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.
I always say that I’ll have a go and see whether the poem works and if it does, then fine.

That’s the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system.
