“One day somebody asked Herr K. if there was a God. Herr K. replied: “I suggest that you ask yourself whether the answer would effect your behavior. If your behavior would remain unchanged, then we can drop the question. If it would change, then I can at least be of assistance to you by telling you that you have already decided: you need a God.”

“O blindness of the great!They go their way like gods,Great over bent backs,Sure of hired fists,Trusting in the powerWhich has lasted so long.But long is not forever.O change from age to age!Thou hope of the people!”

“Unhappy the land that is in need of heroes”
