Everyone's smoking, clouds of smoke from pipes and cigarettes and cigars fog the whole huge hall. When it gets too smoky for the smoke, it looks for a way out which, thanks to its lightness, it can, through chinks and holes and ventilator shafts, all of which are under instruction to see it out. Once outside, though, there's only black night and freezing cold. Then the smoke regrets its impulsiveness, and opposes its nature, but the ventilators turn only one way, and there's nothing to be done about it. Too late. It's subject to physical laws. The smoke's not sure what it thinks about that, it tries to touch its brow and there's nothing there, it wants to think and it can't. The wind, the cold, the night, have it in their grip, and it is never seen again.

- Alfred Döblin, Berlin Alexanderplatz (trans. Michael Hofmann)

—¿Dónde entonces? ¿Perdiste tu corazón en un deporte? ¿En la corriente turbulenta del movimiento juvenil? ¿En el tumulto de la política? —No lo perdí allí. —¿No lo has perdido en ninguna parte? ¿Eres de los que nunca pierden el corazón sino que se lo guardan para sí, lo conservan cuidadosamente y lo momifican?

Alfred Döblin, «Libro cuarto: Biberkopf narcotizado, Franz se esconde, Franz no quiere mirar» en Berlin Alexanderplatz. Traducción de Miguel Sáenz.

And anyone who still wants to ask if there’s such a thing as justice in the world, the bad news is: for the moment, no, at least not this week.

Ich habe diese Aktion schon sehr oft gesehen und habe beschlossen, auch mal mitzumachen. Vielleicht dauerhaft, vielleicht auch nicht. Wer weiß das schon? 😉 Gefunden habe ich sie unter anderem bei Andrea von Bücher – Seiten zu anderen Welten. Ich wollte nie wieder parallel lesen. Und weil ich mich immer an meine eigenen Vorgaben halte, lese ich mal wieder parallel. Allerdings ist es ja dann auch…
