Your Room Quotes

•

  Franz Kafka

• When you stay in your room and rage or sneer or shrug your shoulders, as I did for many years, the world and its problems are impossibly daunting. But when you go out and put yourself in real relation to real people, or even just real animals, there’s a very real danger that you might end up loving some of them. And who knows what might happen to you then?

Say out loud that you love it, even if you don't believe it. And say, "I love myself for hating this."
