among the ruins

‘Anyone who cannot cope with life whilst he is alive needs one hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate... but with his other hand he can jot down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different and more things than the others, after all, he is dead in his own lifetime and the real survivor’

- Franz Kafka, Diaries, entry of October 19th, 1921
