Perhaps the best resource is to meet everything passively, to make yourself an inert mass, and, if you feel that you are being taken away by anything, not to let yourself be lured into taking a single unnecessary step, to stare at others with the eyes of an animal, to feel no compunction; in short, with your own hand to throttle down whatever ghostly life remains within you, that is, to enlarge the final peace of the graveyard and let nothing survive save that. -Franz Kafka
