Quotes About Danger

Die Schwärze ist eine schlechte Erinnerung. Man rechnet ständig damit, aus ihr hevortreten zu sehen, was man fürchtet - was man schon immer gefürchtet hat.

K. knew that there was no threat of actual compulsion, he had no fear of that, especially not here, but the force of these discouraging surroundings and of the increasing familiarity with ever more predictable disappointments, the force of scarcely perceptible influences at every moment, these he certainly did fear, but even in the face of this danger he had to risk taking up the struggle.
