You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

  • -- Franz Kafka 卡夫卡

你不需要离开你的房间。坐在你的桌旁听。甚至不听,只是等待,安静和孤独。世界将自由地把自己奉献给你,让你去揭开它的面具,它没有选择,它将在你脚下狂喜地翻滚。
