49 One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one only in time will come to hate. In this, there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: "This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me."  ~ Franz Kafka - The Blue Octavo Notebooks ~ Well - verse 49 was a revelation... I've never read anything by Kafka.. You can't buy the Octavo Notebooks on Amazon... well - you can - but it'll cost you $50.00 - for a paperback.. so fuck that.  Fortunately I was able to reserve a copy through my library. The rest of the book might be shit, but who knows?   Quote via Whiskey River
