Nobody is going to help me. Al least no one has until now…

“Nobody is going to help me. Al least no one has until now. So I have to make it on my own. I have to get stronger – like a stray crow. That’s why I gave myself the name Kafka. That’s what Kafka means in Czech you know – crow.” quote by Haruki Murakami
