Robert Musil
November 6, 1880 ― April 15, 1942
“The difference between a normal person and an insane one is precisely that the normal person has all the diseases of the mind, while the madman has only one!”
― Robert Musil, "The Man Without Qualities"
Reading Musil wasn't exactly an easy ride, but it was such a profound discovery and it gave me so much, that I was ecstatic when much later I realized that he was recognized as one of the greatest and the most influential writers of the 20-th century.
