We must allow ourselves to think, we must dare to think, even though we fail. It is in the nature of things that we always fail, because we suddenly find it impossible to order our thoughts, because the process of thinking requires us to consider every thought there is, every possible thought. Fundamentally we have always failed, like all the others, whoever they were, even the greatest minds. At some point, they suddenly failed and their system collapsed, as is proved by their writings, which we admire because they venture farthest into failure. To think is to fail, I thought.

I took a few steps toward the kitchen window although I'd already realized I couldn't look through the kitchen window because, as already mentioned, it's covered with filth from top to bottom. Austrian kitchen windows are all totally filthy and we can't look through them and naturally it's to our greatest advantage, I thought, not to be able to look through them because then we find ourselves staring into the mouth of catastrophe, into the chaos of Austrian kitchen filth.

En el fondo, el mundo, desde dondequiera que lo miremos, se compone de insoportabilidad. El mundo nos resulta cada vez más insoportable. El que soportemos lo insoportable es la capacidad para el tormento y el dolor, durante toda la vida, de cada uno, hay en ello algunos elementos irónicos, un idiotismo irracional, y todo lo demás es calumnia.
Thomas BernhardYou are never truly together with one you love until the person in question is dead and actually inside you.
Thomas BernhardThe essential elements of a person come to light only when we must regard him as lost to us, when everything he has done seems to have been a taking leave of us. Suddenly the true nature of everything about him that was merely preparation for his ultimate death becomes truly visible.
Thomas BernhardAll of living is nothing but a fervid attempt to move closer together.
Thomas BernhardOne day you're cut off, at the very start you're cut off and can't go back, the language you learn and the whole business of walking and all the rest is for the sake of the single thought, how to get back again.
Thomas BernhardWhat can you do. You get a name, you're called 'Thomas Bernhard', and it stays that way for the rest of your life. And if at some point you go for a walk in the woods, and someone takes a photo of you, then for the next eighty years you're always walking in the woods. There's nothing you can do about it.
