traumakafka:“The gesture of rejection which always met me did not mean ‘I don’t love you’, but rather: ‘You can’t love me, much as you’d like to; you are unappily in love with your love for me, yet your love for me isn’t in love with you.’ Therefore it’s not right to say I’ve known the words ‘I love you’; all I’ve known is the expectant silence that should have been broken by my saying I love you…”Franz Kafka, Diaries -- source link
