✨ Kafka knew the intoxication of his own isolation, and in Milena, he found a mirror—a flame that threatened to consume the very silence he lived within. Listen closely to the voice of longing, where the only reality is the truth found in their letters. #booksky #LettersToMilena #FranzKafka #Prague

Reading Letters to Milena reminds me how terrified—yet wholly dependent—I am on intimacy of every kind. Even my friendships are romanticized by shared passion: for visual art, for the written word. For film. I cherish people who meet my brand of weird with their own.

"I was tired, empty, boring, deserving to be spanked, indifferent, and from the beginning all I wanted to do was go to bed."
- Franz #Kafka ( #LettersToMilena )

"I wanted to read you in Czech because, after all, you do belong to that language, because only there can Milena be found in her entirety.”

- #Kafka ( #LettersToMilena)

“We do not have the shared possibility we thought we had… not by any means. We didn’t have it then either: I had been looking ‘over my fence,’ holding myself up with just my hands, and then I fell back down, my hands completely lacerated.” #kafka #letterstomilena #bookclub

“Do you know, darling? When you became involved with others you quite possibly stepped down a level or two, but If you become involved with me, you will be throwing yourself into the abyss.”

▪️In my mind I am dressing you with light;

...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

"Yesterday I dreamt about you. I hardly remember the details, just that we kept on merging into one another, I was you, you were me."
