Odluke Quote by Franz Kafka
““ Stoga, ipak, kao najbolji savjet ostaje: primati sve onako kako je, ponašati se kao teška masa, pa makar se sam osjećao kao da si otpuhan, ne dopustiti da te nešto namami na pogrešan korak, promatrati druge životinjskim pogledom, ne osjećati kajanje, ukratko - vlastitom rukom pritiskati ono što je od života još ostalo kao avet, to jest još uvećati posljednji grobni mir i ne znati više za postojanje ičega drugog osim njega. Karakterističan pokret takvog stanja jeste prelaženje malim prstom preko obrva. ””

![“The tremendous world I have inside my head. But how [to] free myself and free it without being torn to pieces. And a thousand times [I'd] rather be torn to pieces than rather it in me or bury it. That, indeed, is why I am here, that is quite clear to me.” quote by Franz Kafka](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f19/franz-kafka-214_freedom_the-tremendous-world-i-have-inside-my-he_5848.jpg)
