What do I have in common with Jews? I don't even have anything in common with myself. - Franz Kafka

It is as if a person were a prisoner, and he had not only the intention to escape, which would perhaps be attainable, but also, and indeed simultaneously, the intention to rebuild the prison as a pleasure dome for himself. But if he escapes, he cannot rebuild, and if he rebuilds, he cannot escape.

Beyond a certain point there is no return. This point has to be reached.

Better to have, and not need, than to need, and not have.
