"Kafka said, A book
must be an axe
for the frozen sea
inside us, which sounds
great, but what good
is an axe against
a frozen sea?
Perhaps this is why
he said, while dying,
Destroy everything."
— Matt Rasmussen, from “Elegy in X Parts” (via proustitute)
"‘i have immensely absorbed the negative aspect of my time, a time which is very close to me and which i have no right to challenge, but only as it were to represent.’"
