Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena
"You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That, my dear, is love."
F.Kafka
"I want in fact more of you.
In my mind I am dressing you with light;
I am wrapping you up in blankets of complete acceptance and then I give myself to you.
I long for you; I who usually long without longing, as though I am unconscious and absorbed in neutrality and apathy, really, utterly long for every bit of you"
You were walking next to me; just think, you were walking next to me . . . it's impossible to understand how you can be far away.
Moreover, perhaps it isn’t love when I say you are what I love the most - you are the knife I turn inside myself, this is love. This, my dear, is love.
In the meantime I was able to observe you some, though it didn't matter to me in the least what you looked like—your words were all I cared about.
